Travel Bass Guitar Electric Headless Bass, 5 Strings Electric Bass with Gigbag & Truss Road & Wire

Great Buy for the price

I have only had this guitar for 2 weeks but so far i really like it. Its so much easier to practice with this bass without having to worry about knocking things over. I bring this with me everywhere so i can practice. I have seen some reviews that said these wont stay in tune, mine does. Its not the easiest to get into tune though. The dials on the end arent easy to turn. I had to get a pliers to help me get them tight enough. Other than that, i really like this Bass.

I’ve had my Batking 5-string for a few months now. The reason I bought it was for its lightweight. It delivers! Before I used my full-size 5-string basses for practicing. I got tired of sore shoulders from practice. I had it set up at the Guitar Center, Cucamonga, and I’m thrilled. The only con is that it has a volume knob on top near my belly. If I move around my belly tends to rub the knob and lower the volume. As for being hard to turn the knobs, not for me. These are no big things. It comes with a gig bag which I keep a turner in. For the instrument cord, I wrap the jacks in a plastic bag and secure them with two rubber bands. I carefully pack the cord in the gig bag. As the ends of the strings are sharp, I make sure the guitar strap covers the string ends. The bass is good for practice, but it doesn’t compare to my full-size Schecter, Sire, or Yamaha basses. The price is great.

Okay, this bass is pretty darn good. I’ve had it 10 months now so had time to really play. It’s easy to sling over your shoulder and travel with. I travel by air a lot for work, so it’s perfect. I use it with an Orange Crush Mini amp and was shocked how good the combo sounds. The strings hold their tune well but the machine heads are a bit difficult to turn. The best thing? I had a minor issue with one of the machine heads. Contacted the Batking store to purchase a replacement and they sent out two for free! Great customer service and very responsive. Wish all vendors on Amazon were like these people.

I wanted a small backup bass to bring to gigs, trust me, this is not it. I like the concept, but It will not stay in tune. I returned it after ten minutes of messing with it.

I really wanted to like it, but up front issues, the fret spacing is different than a normal bass, maybe I didn't have the experience to understand why but it is now expanded than what I am used to. The strings are also too low to the fret board so unless you okay carefully, your going to get the twang out of it. I really wanted to like it between it's looks and portability but it's a miss. I'll give it a day or two more before I decide on returning it.

I liked the design and concept of the instrument however the placement of the front strap hook made it difficult for me to use.

Really nice 5 string I love it I like any new instrument I had to stretch the strings and tune it up
