Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Based on the previous review I knew this would take some tweaking to make it play well. Out of the box, the truss rod nut was fully tightened giving the neck some serious back bow, so as a result every note you played had fret buzz. I backed off the truss rod to give it the proper relief using the included allen wrench. The neck also had to be shimmed to achieve the right neck angle. Both of these adjustments took a grand total of about 10 minutes, and now this thing plays better than most $200 basses. Echoing the previous review, this thing is light as a feather and perfectly balanced... no neck dive on this one. The included accessories are just OK, but really that's to be expected with any "package deal". They will at least get you started with everything that's included. This bass plays so well, I probably will upgrade the pickup soon, although the stock one is fine, I would just like to hear it with some Seymour Duncan's in it. Definitely a great beginner bass as long as you or someone you know, knows how to do a proper setup, and a good backup bass for those who already have their primary, and are looking for something inexpensive, but not junk. UPDATE 11/14/16 So I ordered a set of Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound P-Bass pickups https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002GKYZI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, and took ten minutes to install, and were a perfect fit. This bass is now REALLY good, and for $70 for the stock bass and $60 for a tremendous pick up upgrade, I have a real sleeper of a bass for $130. Really enjoyable to play and went from sounding ok to amazing. Just wanted to report back that the pickguard handles aftermarket pickups well without modification.
