Ktaxon Electric Bass Guitar 6 String Bass Guitar Kit for Beginners | Professional H-H pickup, 3 Way Pickup Selector, Unique Body Design| With Cable, Strap, Wrench & Picks(Upgraded White)

Reviews are real, this is a fantastic bass. And it’s really cheap. It’s not a really good bass for the price, it’sa fantastic bass that’s also really cheap. It’s got nobs that have a groove when you “hit the middle” of any given thing. Like they have an easily identifiable middle spot. It looks great. Plays great. Comes with the tools to easily set the action and intonation. It comes with strings and a gig bag and Alan wrenches. The ONLY negative is that the neck is rough in parts and I’m going to sand it. That’s it.

Amongst some of my instruments located at church due to my doing work at my house, you can see the white Glarry 6 string bass. Okay, yes, there is a slight buzz when not touching the strings but I have purchased copper tape and will see if this remedies the problem. Honestly.....I like everything about this bass except for the provided strings (they sound great, just a little rough on the fingers) and there were a few knicks and scratches in the finish on the back of the upper horn. I don't care about that since, to me everything else about this bass outshines these issues. Will I make changes? Besides what I have already mentioned, possibly change te pots (just a little scratchy) , but I am happy with the purchase and would encourage you if you are looking for a 6 string to purchase as well.

I've been playing for 46 years and have always had an affinity for budget basses. I'm not going to say I find this to be a good bass for the money, but that I find this to be a good bass, period! Other than some WRONG information in the descriptions, I have few complaints about this bass purchase. That WRONG information includes: 1. This has a pan knob, not 3-position selector (there are no selectors at all) 2. This is a 6 string, not 4 string 3. It is Glarry branded, not Ktaxon (unbranded), meaning it is the better version of the two Now, the pros: 1. Solid construction. I don't see or feel anything loose or weak on this bass. Not even the knobs. 2. The frets are finished perfectly. Not even the slightest protrusion past the edges of the fretboard. 3. Tight tuners. The only slippage experienced is as the new strings relax. 4. CRAZY STRONG preamp! OMG, get ready for it! 5. More of a flattened oval neck profile than a C. Imagine between a standard neck and a Music Man. 6. Really good weight and weight distribution, whether sitting or standing. 7. Smooth and consistent knobs. But remember these are TONE knobs, not EQ. 8. It is quite huggable. IYKYK Now the cons: 1. No passive mode. You MUST have a battery inserted to play into anything. 2. This buzzes more than a little. Touching the strings greatly reduces it, but I've seen reviews in which shielding had been installed and ground wiring was sure to be in contact with the bridge, without improvement. 3. The bridge pickup posts do not align with the strings, causing significant volume DECREASE in the B and C strings versus the others. This is very frustrating when wanting to solo or do chords, or when needing that luscious low end that we get 6-strings for. More: . It came with a hairline crack in the finish (only) of the headstock. The integrity of the wood seems uncompromised. . It has decent quality roundwound strings. I wish I knew that flats were so hard to find (and cost 2/3 the price of the bass). . The included cable is easily $20 retail quality, which is insane for a $99 instrument! Knowing what I now know, I would not have had an issue paying more for this bass. I'm already planning my next Glarry purchase: a 5-string P/J style.

For the price it feels and sounds good, and looks good too. The electronics use the 9v battery so the bass is always active and if you dont unplug your cable after playing you'll go thru 9v batteries very quickly. Also, a 9v MUST BE PRESENT to get any sound at all out.

After reading several reviews about this six string bass, I was convinced enough to buy it. My background, I am new in the bass world and I was brave enough to jump onto a 6 string. My take on the instrument: It is well designed and sounds great out of the box. It is a beautiful instrument in my opinion at a fraction of big name brands. However, you might need to tweak it to suit your needs as I did. Tweaks: I replaced the sound jack since the one that comes with it honestly doesn't grip well and that affects the sound output. The preamp that comes with it works but I wanted to experiment with a single NFP filter preamp. With the NFP I kept the 3 way switch that came with it. I replaced the stock vol and tone pots with B500k and added a 0.2uF capacitor to the tone port. With the NFP preamp I was able to make the bass both passive and active. So my apologies to a reply I did in regards to the pickups that come with the bass. They are actually passive pickups. They are a little loud than name brands but with the NFP I was able to attenuate the pickup output to my liking. I also replaced the strings with Markbass Ultimate series with soft touch. They were $20 off so not bad and they are so soft on my fingers. They are round wound so versatile for different genres. I also insulated all the cavities with copper tape including the cover. I also sandwiched rubber between the bridge and the body to make it nice and quiet maintaining sound fidelity. My total including the bass was about $380. It sounds much better and cleaner it's hard to put it down once I have started playing it. I hope this is helpful and glad to demystify some conceptions about the bass. I love tinkering so who knows what else I will do to it.

All of the electronics work well, the body is cheap and light wood, but the neck is really dense and sturdy. It has two trussrods, awesome. It holds tune, new strings will ofcourse need to be worked in. It's not really worth upgrading, but, you can get a fretwrap to help with your muting/dampening, You'll get more value buying pedals/an amp combo with nice tone modeling than if you upgrade this bass, Since any pedals you buy and such can be plugged into your next bass when you find the "perfect one". This is the best value if you want to try 6 string but not sure yet what you want in a 6 string. It'll be easy to resell as well if you want to get some cash back later. It sounds good, it could sound better, but it sounds great and does everything you need to sound atleast good and decent

Edit: the neck became warped , went to loosen it and it was already at the end of the threads. Tried to do a string change and the plastic nut came off. This thing is now unusable after only 3 weeks of ownership. I have been a 4 string player for years and wanted to try my hand at 6 string without a large commitment. Came set up pretty well. I got it, the neck was perfect, action was low (to my liking) and the intonation was only slightly off on the high c. There is a serious issue with the battery draining even when not in use. I fixed mine quite easily. There is a guy on a video channel that explains a way to fix it also. Worst case for the casual player you can just remove the battery when n I will tell you if you use wireless with 2 sleeves, you'll need a mono to sterio extention for it. ( very common for wireless units with active basses) or you may get a small amount of interference. With some tweaks, this has a good enough sound to use to play out. I was a bit shocked that the active system was soo good. The neck does have some areas that seem to have needed a little more sanding, mostly at the back of the headstock. I usually lightly sand the backs of my necks anyway so this wasn't a huge deal. Awesome and easy way to give the 6 string a shot!

Fantastic bass guitar for the price, and proud to have it as my main bass, this bass has a great feel, strings could be better, and some knobs are slightly loose. But, for the price, this bass guitar is great. I use it for High School Jazz, Worship at church, and Metal in my free time, and this bass never disappoints.

Great playability and sounds great with the dual double HH active pickups and just few minor adjustments to the b and e string had raise just a hiar from fret buzz but for the price point it sounds amazing and plays great I highly recommend this bass

A really fab guitar, sounds great, plays great nice action, lovely tactile feel to the body and quite striking to look at. An added bonus is that the guitar is actually a fair bit lighter than my five string Ibanez (which makes gigging and going to jams a whole lot more pleasurable) Being on the cheaper side doesn't effect the quality in any way, you get a plectrum a soft case,strap and a rather excellent quality guitar lead included as well. I got a bit of worry when I plugged it in and couldn't get any sound untill I remembered it is an active guitar and needs a battery (PP3 easily inserted into the slot at the back... not supplied) As there are six strings the guitar is a bit neck heavy which is easily sorted by having a wider strap not made of nylon or similar slippy material. I would recommend getting one of these basses, great fun to play and look cool.

Es bueno para el precio y tiene buen sonido, creo que vale la pena, el unico punto malo que le daria es que esta mal equilibrado, el brazo pesa mucho mas que el cuerpo y tiende a cargarse hacia ese lado, de ahi en mas todo bien, la funda y el tahali son bastante genericos pero no esperaba mas de eso, cumplen su funcion

Pretty decent bass for the money. Tuned the bass,& noticed that I will have to do a proper setup. The strings that are on it feel cheap, but will do for now. All together, this product is satisfactory & a great deal.

Guitar seems lajit for the price, however I gave it a three star due to lack of care with handling at the factory. Guitar showed up with serious gouges in the back of the neck affecting playability. It’s not a big enough deal for me to send it back and I will be able to sand it out smooth but, it’s just worth noting to watch for blemishes. Body and hardware are good.
