Kiryll Konyaev Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 [font=comic sans ms,cursive]Ive set few of them up but not too sure what one you are on about, playability is ok on them, but without upgrading it, i wouldn't expect high end sound from them if you get me, wiring seems to me a bit on cheap side too as i had too solder few jacks and pots. Are they worth the money, I think that they do for the price. [/font] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest looking at the 'Named' alternatives to that bass you mentioned and no doubt, end up more satisfied. BSB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yes I suppose I was aware they'd be built to a price. I do like the multi wood laminate look I notice also the pickups look to be a wierd size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 At least you'll be able to re-sell a 'name' brand for more money if you don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushbo Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I had a BeatBass - their Hofner Macca Bass knockoff - and it was lovely. For the money, they're great value and I shifted mine for what I paid for it. I guess it depends on how hung up you are on 'The Name'.

gafbass02 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I have an acoustic bass and two guitar cabs from them. They are all brilliant:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
