  • If you're willing and able to do the work, it's worth the money
I always wanted a cheap Beatle bass to play around with and for that use case, this is an excellent instrument for the price. That said, if you don't know how to set up guitars, you may be better off avoiding this instrument because it's likely that it will take a few hours of work to get it performing the way it should. When mine arrived I was almost certain that I was going to send it back. The neck was practically back-bowed, the fretboard was so dry it was discolored, the frets had sharp edges, and the bridge was completely out of whack and had a dent from shipping damage. It's clear this was sitting in a hot warehouse for a long time before it made it to my door. I figured that if I was going to send it back, I may as well set it up and see if it was worth it to do an exchange. I did the following work: - Loosened the truss rod almost 2 full turns to get the neck to bow the right direction. I set the relief to my preference. - Adjusted the bridge height to eliminate buzz - Adjusted the bridge position to intonate the strings correctly - Oiled the fretboard, and boy did it soak it up. The wood completely changed color once it was properly oiled. It now looks beautiful and dark. - Replaced the tailpiece with a Hofner copy available on Amazon - Replaced the strings with LaBella Beatle Bass flatwounds - Smoothed the fret ends with a sanding block - Tapped down a couple high frets with a brass hammer - Adjusted pickup heights - Installed strap lock buttons After all this, it plays and sounds excellent. It has some obvious craftsmanship issues, but they're all cosmetic only and don't affect the playability or the sound. I personally love how it sounds with the flatwounds and the settings I found in another review, which are the following: Solo: on Bass: on Treble: on Neck volume: 10/10 Bridge volume: 7/10 It's woody, thumpy, and can sound like McCartney or a standup bass. Exactly what I wanted! The tuners are a weak point and have slop, but seem to hold tune. I'm going to replace them just for the peace of mind. All in all this is an excellent cheap instrument. Just prepare yourself for it to be completely unplayable out of the box. If you're okay with putting in the work, you will be rewarded. Update 9/17/23: I Installed some Guyker tuners which were a drop-in replacement and tuning stability is completely fixed. They're still a little sloppy, but I can hang it on the wall and pick it up days later and it will still be in tune just fine. I replaced the dented bridge with a cheap replacement available on Amazon for about $12. It took some sanding and fitting, which should be expected on a semi-hollow instrument, but I no longer have a low string due to the dent in the bridge. Action is excellent and intonation is perfect. I did find a weird quirk where the on/off switches for each pickup were wired wrong. The "bass" switch turned on and off the bridge pickup and the "treble" switch was connected to the neck pickup. I fixed this while leaving the rest of the wiring alone. Still sounds great and now the switches actually do what they say they do. This is now my go-to bass and I'm having a blast with it. It sounds and plays great and the short scale works really well for me. ... show more

  • Awesome Bass at Any Price
IYV came through again. This is the fourth I've owned, and I wasn't disappointed. I found no blemishes or flaws in the beautiful finish, the tone is so unique to this style of bass. I's quite light, and easy to play. And at less than $200? Come on!

  • The Beatle bass
I have always wanted to own a Beatle bass guitar but it had to be the Hofner Violin bass guitar. I have always loved the look of this instrument and the way Paul played it makes it so special and unique. I enjoy the sound and the feel of the instrument and IYV did a great job with the design and the electronics layout is really good. The frets were really good for sitting in a warehouse just needed a little dressing and the frets were level and the relief was good and I may adjust it after I play it a while. I however found that it was not without flaws as you can see in my pictures . The guitar has a few minor black spots on the back and the side but I just see it as the character of the guitar and not a distraction but I think the company could do a better job of making sure that the flaws are corrected before they ship out so QC may need some work. I’m pleased with the guitar otherwise and I have made some changes to the guitar. I have replaced the tail piece, replaced the volume controls to a set of push pull pots for the humbuckers to be coil split separately and I replaced the cap with a .033 uf film cap and the knobs were replaced with the Hofner violin type knobs and the changing of the strings to flat rounds made the guitar sound much nicer and more consistent with the original design even though it is not quite the exact sound but I like it and I enjoy playing it. I am happy to share the pictures of the guitar and I hope to play it like the pros one day. I recommend it to anyone interested in playing a Violin bass guitar and you can make it to your own taste and feel . I think it’s a really good start for beginners especially if they’re small people , you can play it right out the box but make sure you have a good practice bass amplifier . If also would advise you to learn how to tune it up and use a tuner to get the notes right. Have fun playing it. ... show more

  • Hollow Body & Microphonic Pickups
LIKES: The Price, body and neck finish, neck was straight to my liking, strings and pickup heights were very good, and intonation very good. Did not need adjustments and no broken parts. DISLIKES: Pickups microphonic, pickup rings are made of cheap soft plastic. My wife bought this Hofner copy because I am a self taught guitar player back in 1962, I was 12, - a Ventures and Beatles fan. I've always wanted a Beatle style bass because of the short scale, unfortunately I was also short of cash. For the price, I was not surprised with that I would be a little disappointed. But, since I am also a guitar hobbyist and into modifying cheap pawn shop guitars, reading the negative reviews has prepared me for what to do with this IYV IVB-500CS bass. I did not know about the microphonic pickups, while looking and finding the right size replacement bass pickup, I am temporarily installing a guitar mini-humbucker pickups - yes, guitar pickups. FYI, in the early years of electric guitars, some guitar makers, like Fender used guitar pickup in their Bass. So that is what I am about to do. Unfortunately, IYV did not provide information regarding the controls and switches, so I will update my findings. So far I have noticed 4-5 distinct sounds, will verify and update. I will put the original strings back, when I find and obtain the proper replacement picks I will be installing flat wound strings like Sir McCartney. ... show more
