Over the years I’ve lost a lot of money buying and then trading in fretless basses , this is the cheapest but by far the best one so far , great maoow sound , right out of the boxBrian M.

While this is not a high end instrument, it's highly playable, has good intonation, is good sounding, has a great feel and is fun to look at. It's a fantastic bang for buck. It wouldn't become my first choice for recording or playing out, but, it would make an excellent backup bass and a wonderful starter bass. I wish my first couple of basses were as good when I started learning. This may actually be comparable to a Squire. I'm sure this was mass produced, but, it really doesn't feel cheap. It's a solid piece of gear. It wasn't a necessary purchase for me, I'm happy I bought it and it didn't really set me back very much.baystardo

I went from a new yamaha with active pickups to this jackson with passive pickups. I don't play much bass, so Literally I was looking for a cheap guitar to record with. It has a solid low end grunt but still maintains the mid bang "slap" as you might call it. No its not spotless, the wood is not colored along some of the seems and its not the prettiest style wise, but for someone who just wants an easy playing, solid sounding bass track, this is a great weapon.Jeremy

I give this bass 5 stars, not because it's comparable to a high end instrument, but because of the quality at this unbelievable price point. I was looking for a passive P-style bass that wouldn't break the bank; my expectations were that I would have to do some work to it (fret level, polish, sharp ends, etc.) However, I was very pleasantly surprised to find that none of those issues existed when it arrived, and it was even actually in tune! I lowered the action to my preference, as should be done with every instrument. The neck is extremely comfortable and fast. The plastic nut is cut quite well, bridge is more than adequate, tuners are sufficient and hold tune even with heavy handed attack. The real surprise though, was the strong sustained growling punch of the pickup! This bass actually sounds quite good! I wouldn't hesitate to gig with it: and it's an excellent backup or first bass, that you won't soon outgrow. For reference – I have been playing guitar for 32 years, bass for 25 years and have a MIM Fender Jazz V, and several Ibanez basses (mid grade – professional grade, 4, 5, & 6 string variations). This Jackson isn't in the same class as my others, but that doesn't really mean anything, because it still delivers exceptional quality and value. It is very fun to play, and the tonality is quite useable and shapeable. Bottom line is – this bass is a huge bang for buck!Shasal

This was the first bass I bought myself and im very glad I did. I bought this bass around last December and have been in love ever since. I bought this bass mainly cause of the price tag but also because I was wanting a bass with humbuckers. The epiphone thunderbird had my eye but wasn't exactly in my budget at the time but then I came across this bass. Great price tag and a familiar (body) P bass shape. Fast forward to today and this bass still rocks. The body was put together nicely along with it's finish but you can tell where quality was sacrificed which was the neck. Not terrible or unplayable but you can tell it's a fairly cheap neck. Otherwise the tone, playability, and feel is amazing.Brandon F

This bass is really comfortable after you get used to it because it is very different than any other bass on the market.But the fact is, the quality of these instruments does NOT match their price. They are built by hand, but so are fenders, and my pro jazz is FLAWLESS and absolutely solid. My Ric came directly from the factory with finish issues.The chrome neck pickup cover was heavily scratched, but the factory did replace it after making me jump through some hoops. When I took the pickguard off to get to the pickup, I noticed that it left a very deep impression in the clear coat (my other basses do not have this issue) which tells me two things: it was put on before the clear cured, and it was put on way too tight & the paint around the pickguard mounting hole screws is already bubbling and chipping away, as is the paint around the pickup routing, which is absolutely 100% going to lead to bigger issues. The overall finish of the final buff is ok. not great, just ok. (I am actually in the custom paint industry). These issues were brought to the attention of their "customer service dept" (for lack of better term) and I was basically told to pound sand. In the video of the factory tour, their CEO says he will put the finish of their instruments up against any one in the industry. BAD IDEA bro. You will get spanked. So to "nutshell" it: great looking bass, fun to play, great sound, BUT low quality build and ZERO customer support. They do NOT care about you, unless you are Lemmy (RIP) and are not shy about letting you know it. That was my experience, but maybe yours will be different. But based on what I have read so far, highly unlikely. Do yourself a favor…buy a used one. Then you wont have to deal w the factory. There really is no upside to buying new because their warranty is short, and doesn't really cover much, because ultimately, THEY decide what they will cover in spite of what the warranty saysnOne

I have exclusively played a Fender Precision for many years and it's still my Go To Bass. I recently purchased a Gibson ThunderBird and was happy overall especially playing technical songs but it still didn't beat the Precision's Tone and Punch. As soon as I plugged the Ric up and hit the first few notes I knew this was something special. Awesome look with the Jet Glo Black, Great Tone and Play-ability, easier to hit the notes, and a lot of fun in general. Spend the extra few hundred and don't get the 4003S. I now own the Trilogy of Great Basses. I say the same good things as others who went from a Fender Precision to the Rickenbacker 4003. You won't go wrong with this Bass.Poveglia99

I have been a bass player for over 50 years. During that time, I have owned a variety of basses including different Fenders, Gibsons and a Pedulla. My primary "go to" bass has been a Leo Fender (pre Ernie Ball) Music Man "Sting Ray" bass. I also own an American Fender Precision Deluxe and added the Ric two years ago. All three basses are great. What I like about the Ric is that it is a bit lighter and thinner than the other two basses (especially when compared to the Fender P bass). It has a different yet comfortable playing neck and is capable of getting that classic Ric sound and sustain. I've also always loved the look of this bass which is very distinctive. I enjoy playing this instrument quite a bit and find myself using it more and more. I purchased mine in the Mapleglo. It was a hard decision for me between the Fireglo and the Mapleglo, so it's possible that I might see myself getting a second one down the road. I haven't noticed any shortcomings in workmanship which seems to be one of the negative things I see surfacing in some of the review. These basses have always been a little pricey, and there are other very nice basses out there for less money. However, these basses have always had an intangible "kewl-ness" factor. I've been very happy with mine and love the sound and feel of the instrument. If I have any complaints, I would say the pick-ups can be noisy and the toggle switch sometimes can produce a static noise switching back and forth between pick ups.Artie

Overall: I love the sound and playability of this wonderful instrument. My only complaint is with FedEx, they delivered a day late and at 10pm. they did not walk it up tp the door they left it in the middle of a driveway I share with a neighbor and left with no notification. I just happened to hear their door slam. I opened the front door as they left. I walked out to the driveway and stepped on the package because it was so dark. Fortunately the instrument was not damaged.Micheal

This really is an astonishing bass. Superb build quality, first class hardware and electronics (Wilkinson) and it sounds fantastic! I have heard fellow musicians rave about the bang for buck of Vintage brand guitars, now I know why! Playable action and intonation out of the box. But with a couple of minor tweaks it is now superb! I have a hankering for an SG type 6 string. After this experience, I think it is going to be a Vintage VS6. Unbelievable value!S. H.

I cannot fault the service I received, the guitar was set up very nicely. The guitar itself however could have been finished better. The binding around the neck is a bit rough and upon removing the coating over the scratch plate and control plate, you wouldn’t expect to find scratches. None of this affects the playing and sound of the guitar obviously, but I’m a little disappointed in the quality control from Vintage guitars.Paul M.

This Bass sounds amzing!! great tone. Loudest acustic bass i haver heard. The issue is the first one i recevied one of the chrome "speaker looking ports" only had a small amount of glue holding it in in one spot. when it came off it took some of the finish with it. had it for an hour and sent it back. Just recevied my replacement looked over the whole and all parts are solid and in place. Then I while playing it I noticed at the top of the neck where the top F frett is on the neck looks like the clear coat is cracked. Not sure if the neck is or not. So as soon as these are bvack in stock I will send this one back and try a third time. If the next one ios good then cool. If not Regal can keep there bass. MF has been good about replacing and shipping just a pain and HUGE hassle. Bottom line sounds Great! Chia built.Chili514p

Superb quality, very impressed, everything feels right, great build quality, excellent pickups, very well made indeed, a genuine pro instrument … quality straight out of the box puts other manufacturer’s instruments of a comparable price point to shame .. no set up required, plays beautifully, sounds great, more twang than your average humbucker guitar.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

This guitar is an absolute dream. It's no frills, US made, with excellent attention to detail. The pickups sound warm and full. The frets are polished near flawlessly. And the setup out of the box was on point. Honestly edged out several instruments that were far pricier.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.
