Manufacturer's Description
Everything for the budding bassist - all in one box. The bass is a smaller scale, which makes it the ideal instrument on which to develop proper bass guitar skills. Especially so for youngsters or people with smaller hands who may not yet be able to cope with the larger finger stretches required on the daunting dimensions of a full size bass guitar.

The amplifier is capable of handling bass frequencies at a good volume, but also also has a headphone input for silent practice!

The box also contains an easy-to-use chromatic tuner and all other accessories needed to kick start a career as a bassist!

Customer Reviews

A good value bundle
I brought this as I have just started to learn bass, this is half the price I expected to pay for a guitar and amp (this came with a case, leads, stand, amp, CD's and tuner)

I did find a few problems with it though on arrival (just me being unlucky)1 of the strings had snapped and the plug on the amp was bent beyond repair.

I have had no trouble getting it replaced and the new one works perfect.

The other guitar I purchased, same package but with an electric guitar, was fine.

A great Christmas Present
I bought my 11 year old son one of these for Christmas. Neither of us can play the bass so we were not looking for anything too sophisticated. The package arrived quickly and everything was in the box and in good working order. Well amost, the volume control on the bass was loose, but all I had to do was take off the chrome knob and tighten a nut at the base of the spindle.

It has hardly left his side since he opened it. We are both very pleased with it. The instrument looks great. The amp is basic, but what else do you expect at this price, and needs to be turned up to get a half reasonable sound from it.

All in all this is great value formoney.

Great Starter Package
I've played the cello now for more years than i care to remember, and decided a while ago I'd like a new challenge, so opted to save for a bass guitar. Having looked at several on Amazon and read the various reviews, I chose this package. It arrived quickly, in top condition, nothing damaged or missing, and I set everything up in a matter of minutes ready to start learning and annoying the neighbours!

The bass is a lighter weight than was expecting, but still has a good weight to it, the neck feels great, the sound is good, strap easily adjustable. The only teensy criticism i have is that the 'qwik tune' tuner requires a square battery which isn't included (if I'd known, I'd've gotten one already to put in the moment it arrived), but otherwise, no complaints here!
