(More customer reviews)I have always been told, why purchase something cheap when you know it will eventually breakdown, well, I wasn't expecting what appeared to be a solid upright bass to become such a disaster. I purchased my bass January 09, by April I had noticed bending and chipping of the ebony board, ok, so they replaced the bass ,sent a new one. It was ok at first, then I started noticing that the sound quality was not the greatest, string vibration, and that simply made it difficult to deal with. I must have moved the bridge around 100 times, but nothing seemed to work. I gave up and had an expert explain the awful sound I was getting: here's a little list: a) the ebony board was really mahogany and the wood was simply painted black to look like ebony. Besides this outrageous lie by the company, the wood wasn't totally dry, so over the winter it bowed and the bass became unplayable. The bridge is a joke and the strings, perhaps the worst you could ask for. So, I got the board reshaped at a local luthier, a good adjustable bridge, and new set of strings: Total cost: [...], plus %500 purchase price: [...], not counting a year of dealing with a third class instrument. Moral of the story, should have bought a %1,500 bass from a local dealer and kept Chinese crap from entering our music education system.
