It's a well-made instrument that strikes a good balance between affordability and quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's a lightly tinted finish, showing some of the plywood grain. The 'white edges' are a design element, not a thick layer of paint.
It's warmer and less complex than a solid-top, but still very usable; it might require a touch more EQ to cut through a mix.
They're standard double bass strings, so replacement is straightforward, but gut strings are more delicate and require gentle handling.
