"great for beginers; but have a backup plan."

Feature:
tuner isnt too acurate, strap broke in the 1st month, dvd is helpful though, itaught my cousin through that dvd; ididnt use it though.

Quality:
amp isnt too good altogether; paint from bass chips; plastic bodied bass; not too good in my book. And the tuning keys might need replacing in 3 months after use.

Value:
this is a great starter product; but you need a backup bass and amp BEFORE 5 months.

Desirability:
the bass looked really nice.

Sound:
the amp, and bass is great in the first 2 months. after 3, your gonna want to replace it.

Ease of Use:
you can jump right into bass; the amp is easy to understand.

Overall:
1st month: completely perfect, just getting used to it, no problems. 2nd month: maybe one string replacement, may need a new cord; no biggie. 3rd month: amp gets a little shotty, paint chips off bass; may need to save a little money up. 4th month: amp is almost useless, tuning keys probably already replaced; need to pick out new amp and bass. 5th month: BUY NEW AMP AND BASS.

"Good Quality to Price Ratio"

Feature:
I liked how it came with an amp and a bag and picks and other stuff. It was very useful for me when i was a beginner.

Quality:
This bass lasts pretty long. I still have mine and i've been playing for about 5-6 years and it still works pretty well but again, its not the best.

Value:
It has a good sound for the price it is.

Desirability:
Feels good and looks sweet too.

Sound:
The sound is good for a bass at this price. I wouldn't recomend it to an advanced bassist but definately for a beginner.

Ease of Use:
This bass is pretty easy to get a good sound. Its not perfect but again, its a good sound for a bass at this price. It is a great bass to learn how to play on.

Overall:
I was satisfied with this product for about a year but i think i decided to move on too soon so i guess i would have bben happy with it for about 2-3 years.

"Don't look at the price it is worth every penny!!!"

Feature:
My package came with the guitar, amp, strap(try to find a padded replacement)DVD, gig bag, and tuner. It also came with picks which I don't understand because you play a bass with you fingers. The tuner is a pretty cheap one.

Quality:
The guitar is made with great effort. I know I can jam out and nothing will break.

Value:
Fantastic value!

Desirability:
This is the sexiest guitar I have ever held. The sound is beautiful too.

Sound:
The sound is fantastic! I keep playing my bass just to hear the sweet sound of tuned bass.

Ease of Use:
This is a perfect fit for me and my band.

Support:
I couldn't find my item number, I called them, they told me what it was!

Overall:
OMG. If I had the opportunity to buy it again, I would everything is perfect.

"Guitar: Good. Amp: Piece of S**T"

Feature:
The most useful part of the package was the guitar itself. The tuner was bad-it told me to make the strings an octave and a half higher. The guitar strap is great, but it could use some padding. The gig pag is good on the outside, but is like paper on the inside. Tears way too easily. The picks were nice, the DVD was good for starting, but could have included a few songs, and the amp was horrible as I have mentioned before. Invest in an Ibanez amplifier if you like playing bass. Like the review above me, the amp started getting horrible feedback, it started popping and whizzing, and made it impossible to hear what I was playing.

Quality:
The guitar is, and looks, 100% solid. The amp is about .5% solid.

Value:
it should be about 125, and not come with the amp.

Desirability:
The guitar is hot. The bass is not. A good bass I sought, and that's what I got. (Mad rhyming skillz!)

Sound:
The guitar is actually decent-sounding when it is hooked up to a good amp, But the included amp is just horrible. I am getting anIbanez amplifier as soon as I have the money.

Ease of Use:
Everything was fine, except of course from the amp. The manual tells you nothing. You could throw the amp out in a dumpster and hook it up to a cheese pizza, and get better sound than the amp.

Support:
I dunno, since I've had it, I've never needed any support.

"It will break, and you will be sorry."

Feature:
The Package came with a bag, which ripped right in half after about a month of minimal use. It came with a strap that has begun to tear after light playing. Also, it came with an amp - it's terrible! Obviously, it's just a practice amp, so you shouldn't expect any volume. That's not the problem. After a few weeks, the amp started making weird popping noises. They started off soft and infrequent, but have gotten progressively louder and are present as long as the amp is on. I can barely hear the base over the noises now.

Quality:
The guitar is fine - It's built sturdily and doesn't scratch. The amp sucks. Horribly.

Value:
You get what you pay for. If you're a beginner, spend ten bucks more and get an Ibanez, at least they're a real company.

Desirability:
The guitar does look pretty nice, esp. in liquid black.

Sound:
The Guitar: The lows tend to blend together and the highs kind of screech. While the guitar seems decent, the cable is junk and the amp does not produce anything worth hearing.

Ease of Use:
Meh. What's to know?

Support:
The amp really broke a week after the (30 day) warranty expired. For $200, I want more than 30 days of playing.

Overall:
Don't buy this bass. It seems like a nice deal, but for the same money, you could get an equally good ibanez bass and an amplifier that won't break after five weeks. The accessories seem nice, but they're about as poor quality as you can get. Have you ever heard of Silvertone before you saw this package? Neither have I. Go for Ibanez.
