Artist Vintage Hybrid Fretless 4 String Bass - Pas
By: Colin Harris on 5 September 2024Purchased and delivered one day earlier than scheduled. Packaged well in guitar box. Came with 2 picks 6.5 to 6.5mm lead, Allen keys. Round wound strings. 9 v battery included. Fit and finish perfect. I first changed the strings to daddarrio flat wounds. Adjusted intonation- easy. Neck straight and action was perfect straight out of the box. Being picky, the switching between active and passive is a bit thumpy but you only want to go passive if the battery goes flat. My son has been playing bass for over a year and he has pretty much mastered it. Nice tone range, excellent value for money. Highly recommend the bass and dealing with Swamp! Thanks
