"If you want an inexpensive acoustic bass for home jamming, or recording - I defy you to find a better guitar for the $150 I paid"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
The electronics are somewhat inadequate for me. I have to boost and shape the sound through a powered mixer to get adequate volume to record. Ditto the remarks made by other reviewers regarding the tone control slider. The guitar is surprisingly beautiful, although very unadorned.

Quality:
I honestly could not believe that the guitar was as well constructed as it appears to be, for the price. The worst quality of the guitar is the electronics - but as I said - if you have anything to boost the signal before your amplifier - you'll be good as gold.

Value:
If there is a better value for the money than this guitar - I'd like to see it. I was hestitant to buy this guitar because I was afraid it would be a major disappointment, considering the price. Boy, was I ever pleasantly surprised!

Desirability:
it all depends on what you want. I wanted an inexpensive acoustic bass guitar that had good playing qualities. Sofar, i'm getting way more than my money's worth out of this guitar.

Sound:
I'm an intermediate acoustic guitarist who wanted an inexpensive bass to add bottom to some home recordings. My only experience with a bass guitar frustrated me because of excessive "slapping" and fret noise. I bought the Playmate 10 days ago and have been wowed by the tone, and relative ease to play (compared to an electric bass guitar).

Ease of Use:
The action as shipped to me is perfectly OK. I find this guitar much easier to play than an electric bass: slapping and fret noise are less of an issue.

Support:
haven't needed the company

Overall:
I'd buy another one in a heartbeat, if my current Playmate was damaged.

"pretty good"

Feature:
it had a pretty basic pickup system: vol. and tone.

Quality:
This is not professional quality but great jamming acoustic with your friends or learning.

Value:
you get what you pay for prettty cheep = pretty good

Desirability:
it is a little big, but it feels wonderful

Sound:
It sounds nice. It is a little on the quiet side and is not the best, But it costs $150 so you get what you pay for.

Ease of Use:
it is easy to use i raised my action but that was pretty easy.

Support:
i had some back order problems but they were ironed out pretty well.

Overall:
i really like it is good for what you are paying
