I had been thinking about getting an upright bass for a long time, so I took the leap on this one, and I'm glad I did. If you’re still on the fence, I’ll try to be as detailed as I can with my review to help with your decision. Executive summary: great value, great sound, no real luthier skills required. Overall, it’s a strikingly beautiful instrument with a lot of “stage presence.” The maple bridge was already profiled. The top of the bridge is more of a jazz shape than orchestral, with the treble side dipping much lower than the bass side. It’s notched for the strings, and the feet were shaped to fit the top. All I had to do was center the bridge between the two inner notches on the f-holes and tighten the strings. While I'm sure I'll make some adjustments over time, the instrument is totally playable, as-is. No luthier required. You'll want to use some pencil lead on the nut slots and bridge notches to let the strings slide easier and help prevent the bridge pulling forward when you tune. Action was set at around 7mm above the end of the fingerboard, with the adjustable bridge set at its lowest – so there’s plenty of room to re-shape the top of the bridge. The soundpost was set a bit further from the bridge than I would set it, so I’ll probably move that at some point. But the sound is already amazing, especially for an entry-level plywood bass. I’m sure it will only get better with some tinkering. The bass I got weighs only 20.5 lbs (without the gig bag). That is pleasantly light for a 4/4 bass. The scale is on the long end of the spectrum: 44” (measured from the nut to the bridge). The fingerboard is straight and smooth. Listing info says "oak," but it looks tighter grain than that. Or maybe it’s filled. Whatever it is, it's stained black and could pass for ebony. The tailpiece is substantial and made of hardwood – could be ebony or simply another close-grain hardwood stained black. Slots for the strings are perfect and did not need any cleaning out. The tail gut looks like vinyl-coated aviation cable and is closed with a crimp. It held just fine when I tightened the strings up to pitch (A440). The strings are flat-wound and seem to be steel core. They sound and perform great. As some have mentioned, the included rosin is less “sticky” than most upright players prefer. You can fix that with the alcohol trick mentioned by other reviewers and elswhere online. The French-style bow is nicely crafted and works well. The endpin assembly is outstanding. It’s beautifully turned rosewood with a brass fitting, and the endpin itself is 1/2” and notched, so you don't have to over-tighten the set screw. The rubber end cap screws off of the pin, which comes to a shallow-angled “point.” There is a stop rivet installed on the end pin inside the bass, so it cannot be removed to, say, attach a wheel for transport. But that is easily remedied without having to remove the strings or the endpin assembly. Unscrew the rubber tip and retrieve the pin through an f-hole with a telescoping magnet (the kind auto mechanics use to retrieve dropped parts). You can then clip the ends of the soft aluminum stop rivet with wire cutters, push it out of the end pin, and reinsert the end pin through the bottom. Problem solved. The tuning machines work great. The scroll is beautifully carved, but the inside of the peghead box is a little rough. And where the peg holes were drilled could've been cleaned up a bit before they attached the machines – a little splintery around the holes inside the peghead box – but not a big deal at all. Actually, the overall craftsmanship is pretty good. The neck feels great – finish is removed to reveal blond natural wood. The purfling is fake but convincing: white painted pinstripes. Same with the edge "binding." The sides have reinforcing wood strips next to each edge, outside and inside the bass. Inspecting the inside with a light and a mirror, it’s pretty clean with no glue squeeze-out or chips and sawdust. Surprisingly, the gig bag is way sturdier and more serviceable than the photos made me think it would be. The photos make it look thin and wrinkled, but it's actually got about 3/8" of padding, a soft knit lining, and a tough nylon exterior fabric. On the front, there's a bow pocket and a small accessory pocket. On the back there's a sheet-music-sized pocket between the backpack-style straps. I can't imagine carrying this 4/4 bass as a backpack (not because it’s that heavy, but because it’s awkward). The bag could probably handle it, although you'd have to add some golf-bag-style shoulder pads to the straps. Online videos and bass-player forums help a lot when you’re setting up the instrument, but it’s pretty straightforward. Hope this has been helpful as well. Have fun. UPDATE: About 8 months later, still loving this instrument. I moved the sound post to a more traditional position in line with the treble side of the bridge foot and slightly toward the tailpiece. This made it sound even better, especially noticeable when bowed.

This bass needs a lot of basic work to be a basic functioning instrument. The E ad D strings broke, the bridge had to be refit as it was too high to be playable, the nut as well. The fingerboard is oak and has to be regulated as there are lots of high and low spots. Upon arrival there were finish blemishes (chipping) from the previous soundpost installation. The tailgut broke and had to be replaced. It came UPS but they would not take it back. I got about $300 in repairs and parts in this thing. Oh and the knot pulled out of the frog and the bow has to be rehaired. So there’s another $75.00

With a little adjustment to the bridge, this double bass is just fine. It is a great asset to our little string ensemble, and my bass player loves it. Man, for the price, it cannot be beat.

Great entry level bass for the price. Easy setup as received. Not a perfect finish but a lot better looking than expected for the price. Wasn't notified of shipping; so, wasn't home when it arrived but the delivery driver called and waited. It is easy to play and holds tune once everything has stretched and settled in. For a beginner on the upright bass it has been a pleasure to learn and sounds great to others.

I've always wanted one, I do play the based, The price was so reasonable it came with a broken neck,, I didn't want to send it back because I knew how to fix it,, If anything the shippers should pay for the repair but it's it's the price, I couldn't refuse it,, It is built well not there fault but the shippers fault,,it was packed well but shipping was lousy,, I didn't submit a claim because I wanted to use it so I fixed it and I'm using it now,, Let's say I'm happy,, They have a good product I will admit that,, But the shipping sucks
