Ktaxon 4 String Electric Bass Guitar, 36-inch Bass Guitar Kit with Split single-coil Pickup, Rosewood Fretboard, Mahogany Body for Kids, Boy and Girl(Red)

This is The Golden Age Of Gear. I mean, seriously. This bass was $49 when I ordered it, and the reviews I caught re it were mostly pretty positive. I’m 64; I come from the 70s, when there was no inexpensive gear. When music stores had Strats, they always had hideous ones, with gold everything instead of chrome, in bland FM radio hippy finishes such as beige, and tortoise pickguards instead of white, which is what the Bible says Strats should have. It was horrific, having to flip burgers after school for 10 months before I could afford anything. Getting sidetracked with buying Stranglers albums didn’t help matters. Where was I going with this… Oh, yeah, okay. This bass. It’s not adequate, it’s GOOD. The really small scale makes it ez to play, and the pickups put out like your mama when your friend comes over but you’re not home. The action was uncomfortably high, which forced me to do a truss rod adjustment for the very first time in my life. I googled a bunch of stuff about how to do it, because reading Guitar World magazine gave me a complex, having me believe that if I blinked the wrong way, or I farted or something, that the neck would detonate. PFFFF. I gingerly, preciously adjusted in the direction everything told me to turn, and just like magic, it was suddenly perfect. And no man-bun flat-earthers got killed, or anything. It’s got a wide variety of sounds due to the dual pups and the controls, and, get ready for THIS: It stays in tune. I’ve picked it up and hooked it to a tuner and found it to be perfectly in tune before, which in my experience is phenomenal. I’m scared. I mean, Rod Serling is most definitely involved in this on some level. It was FORTY-NINE BUCKS. I mean, HOW…? Since getting this, it’s the only bass I’ve used to record my abominable 1 and 1/2-chord garage rock. …my PubeTube channel is “Gwugluud 77”; czech me out…It’s just fun to handle since it’s so small and cozy to play, and it has a cool unique look. Even if you don’t need another bass (I didn’t), unless you just hate yourself, order this! I COMMAND you.

I got this little Bass yesterday afternoon. I couldn't put down I got it in tune and just played it sitting in the recliner all night. I was actually surprised how small it really is!! The scale length is longer than Fenders electric tele/strat but the overall length is shorter than a Strat. I dont have a Les Paul, but i feel its the same size. This reminds me a SG. The fit and finish is better than the lower end offerings from Fender. The strat/pbass pack, starcaster,debut series. Yeah this little bass is a few steps above those. There was only one little bit of a fret on the thumb side that you could just barley feel when running your hand along the side of the fret board, and i mean just barley. took about 3 swipes of emory board to fix that. Um intonation was not 100%, but damn close, didnt take much adjustment at all. the fret board was flat, no adjustment needed. Some one sat this up at the factory. also the strings were slacked, so that good. The action was a bit to high for my prefrence, but still usable right out of the box. The accessories are just an extra. I dont have any use for any of it, i mean picks are ok i suppose, but medium to light so not really what you want to play the Bass with, if you feel you need a pick? Its a Bass, use your fingers, and thump it with your tumb. The fret board could use some oil. The finish is kind rough, like they didnt finish shaping the body perfect, and there is a lot of grain, obviously they didnt spend much time sanding the wood before paint, what ever, its a Bass. I do have to say that this red is the color this Bass should be!! Its like a flat fire engine red. I almost got the natural wood so i could finish it how ever i want. But that red is perfect for it. This little bass is so awesome. I got it becuase i dont have a bass, and my 6 year old says she want to play the bass so win win!! Mine says Glarry on the head stock oh man it also has a wonderful feather joint at the head stock. this reminds me of an Iceman mixed with an SG if your on the fence about this wonderful little bass, just buy it!!This would also look amazing in a royal or grape purple with the same matte finish
