 Great Buy for the money August 21, 2009
J. Liotti (NJ, USA)
Been playing acoustic guitar for 25yrs, and wanted to try the bass.
I received the order in 24hrs, with free shipping!
The guitar was in great shape, no problems.
Will change the strings to a flatter variety, as per previous reviews.
All in all, great buy, great price.
a pleasent surprize September 15, 2009

We bought the guitar for our 15 old boy for birthday. He was wanting a Acoustic Bass guitar for awhile, he was very pleased as the guitar have a good sound, a deep echo.
Thank you
Excellent beginner instrument December 22, 2009

I'm a novice guitar player looking to learn bass, since I don't know anyone who plays one. This instrument surpassed my expectations on sound, quality, and factory setup. From the factory, this bass has lower action than my Combo/Selmer acoustic guitar did (and that's not a bass). Intonation at fret 12 is almost perfect on the factory setup, which is a very pleasant surprise to me.
The only quirk I've found so far is a very slight buzz down by the bridge on low E struck hard. I bet the player is the only person who can hear it, though.
A pro might find some faults with it, but I believe it will do well at all the bass playing I expect to do, given my skill level.
Fantastic Bass with a GREAT Price! August 18, 2005

I don't usually write these little review things on websites, but I am extremely pleased with this purchase. I bought this bass solely for the purpose of quiet practicing/jamming in my apartment, where an amplified electric bass would not be welcomed with open arms. If you're considering it for this purpose you'll be completely satisfied. For the cash spent, it doesn't get much better than this. This is a sturdy instrument that you won't have to worry about being too 'careful' with. I've found myself hauling this thing around to friends houses, get-togethers, etc. with no case and having a blast with it. The finish and general appearance are nothing fancy at all, but if your about the music, you won't even notice. It has a different feel and requires a slightly different playing style than electric bass (just as an acoustic guitar differs from electric) but I found myself adjusting quite easily. I highly suggest changing the stock strings to flatwounds, which are smooth as silk on this thing, because this instrument tends to create a bit of finger noise with the roundwounds. I've been playing guitar/bass for 16 years and own several expensive instruments and this well built, inexpensive gem has no problem keeping up. Overall: A ton of fun and a unique playing experience!
Great playing instrument August 26, 2005

Each time I pick up this bass I'm impressed with how fine an instrument it is for the price. My entire technique is improving as I have to rise to meet the clarity of sound my Playmate provides. The craft of its manufacture is high, the tone is clear and volume good, and the price is spectacular. My first worry was that this would be a dumbed down, inferior version of the Dean Performer EAB. That fear didn't materialize. The same Dean attention to quality has gone into this instrument as into the higher end Performer. Note: My Playmate has a cutout body for reaching the entire fingerboard...and I didn't buy through Amazon.
