Ktaxon 4 String Electric Bass Guitar, Full-Size Right-Handed Beginner Kit

Great bass period. Pre strung with decent strings, comes with a strap that i'm still using. Cord also! And a pick if you like to play bass with one (i personally don't even play guitar with a pick much) Don't love the amplifier but that's ok. It will get you playing the same day, you want a bigger one later and depending which one you go with it will sound better. That being said. This kit will get you up and running immediately, it sounds great and feels great. Ultralight, lighter than my guitars. Put a little work into it and it may end up being one of your favorite instruments. I did a few things with mine but mostly string and knob changes. Pickups are perfect, nothing needs any major changes. No regrets at all on this kit, grab one for sure if you want a good 4 string on the cheap Hope this helped!

I bought this because I liked the blue/green color, the white perloid pickguard, and the white inlays on the fretboard. I also liked the symmetrical body shape, and the fact that the pickups are Precision/Jazz (PJ). The only ingredient missing is that it's not short scale like I prefer. But I can tolerate that. It sounds decent enough, and one thing that really suprised me is that the entire package that came is so small and light. The accessories -- the amp, gig bag, strap, and power cord, are all rather inexpensive and cheap feeling, but what do you expect for $100? I didn't buy the bass for these add-ons, so their cheap feel didn't affect my rating. The gig bag fits the bass, unlike the Glarry short scale bass I also purchased and made into a piccolo bass. I needed to adjust the intonation and like many basses I own, the bass has a lot of fret buzz on the Low #'s F, F#, and G on the first, second, and third frets. But this buzz doesn't come through the amp, fortunately. I will probably play with the action and saddle height to see if I can get rid of the buzz, but I am still happy with the bass overall, particularly for the price I paid. By the way, I am a former semi-pro bass player who gigged regularly until Covid hit. I also build instruments. Through my building, I learned how "similar" cheap and expensive basses and guitars are. I believe there is a lot of hype about brands, and I am happy to use low-end basses for recording and also performing live for paying customers. The major difference is in the sound of the pickups and how well the instrument plays due to its setup. Another thing to consider is hum -- this bass does have hum like all other single coil pickups. If you want to get rid of it, you would have to replace the pickups with humbuckers and sheild the bass. Overall, a nice addition to my growing collection of basses, and one that I love to just look at as it hangs on the wall of my music room.

Having to completely redo my review after my interaction with ktaxon customer service, which was extremely positive. Taking it from the top, I bought this bass mostly for the small amp, which fits perfectly in my cube shelf after removing the corner protectors, and its exactly what youd expect from the size. It would make a good first amp, and it makes a great practice amp for me when I dont want to set up my primary. As for the bass, its comfortable, it sounds great, and the setup is typical for the price range, which is that you need to get one done or do it before playing. Now, as for my problem, the strap button pulled straight out of the body under normal use, which is something Ive run into on cheaper guitars as well. It boils down to the screws just being fundamentally too small, and while fixable, isnt something I'd normally recommend for a beginner because a strap is super necessary on the bass. Heres where I have to say, Ktaxon absolutely stepped up. They reached out to discuss the issue and looked into it, offering a resolution for me and I feel strongly the issue will be addressed in the future. More than that, I think Ktaxon stands behind their products, and being that I've bought other products from them with no issues, I can say this would make a good starter bass and that I do recommend it.

Honestly I'm shocked how good this is. Cons first: -There are a few small scuffed spots on parts of the body that aren't very noticeable in the first place but would definitely buff out. The polish/sanding on the beveled edge looks rushed and has some lines that, again, I think will buff out nicely. -The fretboard was DRY and the frets were a little gross. I immediately loosened the strings and went to town on the fretboard with oil and did my best to polish the frets. It looks great now! -Action was playable for me but seems high. I'm new to bass though, so I can't tell how far off it really is. -You can tell some of the hardware is pretty cheap, but what else would you expect at this price point? -Amp is low build quality. Feels cheap. Short power cable. -Cable isn't great but works. -Extremely low end accessories. Pick, capo, allen wrenches, strap, and gig bag are all bottom of the barrel but functional. PROS: -Feels great in the hands -Inlays and pick guard are tasteful in-person. -Headstock, neck, and fretboard were in pretty much perfect condition. The neck is unfinished which could be a con for some, but I'm going to modify and paint this guitar for fun. -Tuning gears feel a little light and cheap, but are smooth and tight. -Knobs aren't top of the line but shocked me with their premium feel. -Strings: Feel pretty good to me. I always change guitar strings immediately on a new 6-string guitar, but these bass strings seem fine to me! I'll change them when I feel like it to sanity check myself. -Amp works and sounds good. Pretty good volume too. Slight hum without the instrument plugged in that seems to go away once playing. Cable isn't the worst I've ever seen. -Accesories: They work! They're JUST good enough that I won't call them complete junk, but they're on the line. Summary: As someone who's dabbling in bass I'm glad I got the kit. The accessories, though cheap, cannot be had at this price point any other way, and they get the job done. With a coupon I was able to get the black one for $102 before tax. Just the bass was $90. $11 for an amp, capo, and some other goodies is a no-brainer for someone who doesn't want to fully commit to bass yet. I LOVE that is has no name on the headstock. I'd much rather have no name than a name people look down on or haven't heard of. I'm going to use this inexpensive bass to do my first custom paint job without worrying about damaging a desirable model. Maybe I'll mod or upgrade it someday too, but it sounds really good to me exactly as it is. I'm blown away that even after our dictator has ruined everything we're still able to get some cheap high quality products for now. Buy while you still can.

Amazing great starter bass great on pricing did not break the bank if you take care of it good it can go a long way no paid ad here real person😂

Buy! Can’t say enough good things about this purchase. Good quality, aesthetically pleasing and lightweight. Amp is great for practice.

This is a beautiful guitar that we bought for our daughter. Great value for money. Sounds amazing, easy to tune, and just feels good.

Bought this as a gift for a young lady in our fellowship This bass is ok for an absolute beginner The Nut was cracked so I had to replace it I also had to adjust the neck as the strings were laying on the first 2 frets. Not sure what I was expecting for $90. You definitely get what you pay for.

Great starter kit. Daughter loves. They even started a band!

Ampli brancher et à grille à la première note de plus obligé de payer pour renvoyer .

A éviter de tout coeur je vous conseil d’acheter un kit plus cher de meilleur qualité dans celui si le cable qui relie la guitard a l’amplificateur c’est casser dans la guitard et l’amplificateur fait plein de bruit parasite et gache vos morceau et apres avoir contacter le service client il me dise que il est impossible de m’envoyer juste le cable a eviter!!!!!

Very Late Delivery. Product came from China then USA New Jersey, pay uncle Trumps Tariff. Basically this Guitar is only $50 in China then $400 when it reach Canindia. Save yourself some hassle, dont buy this low quality guitar and amp.
