It looks cheap up close and in most lighting appears more grey than white.
Price
For the price, this bass delivers solid performance.
A $500+ instrument should at least include a cheap basic bag.
I like it quite a bit and would say it's a good deal for the price.
Overall it's a solid bass for the price and would definitely be a great choice for beginners and experienced players alike.
Shipping
Delivered fast, plays well, very light weight.
One note: this does not ship "set-up".
Packaging/appearance
Arrived wrapped very well, original package inside an amazon package.
Not sure if the music store i purchased it from through amazon made any adjustments, but the setup was pretty good out of the box.
Competitiveness
I've had other instruments in this price range with much better fret work.
Would definitely be 5 stars if the frets and overall qc were a little better, but hey, maybe you'll have better luck than me.
