Excellent value bass guitar. Very light basswood body, perfectly straight maple neck, smooth tunners, flawless finish and well set up right out of the box. Controls operate smoothly and pickups actually sound very good. I would absolutely recommend the Goplus bass to anyone looking for a great instrument for a reasonable price.

I bought this on a whim to learn bass guitar as it's generally harder to find bass guitars second hand compared to six strings. The price can't be beat and it's definitely best to start with an inexpensive model to gauge your level of interest and commitment to the hobby before investing in more expensive equipment.

My son was so happy in this product and i was worried that we might not getting it before christmas. But the seller keeps updating me and communication goes so well. Highly recomended for your kids who wants to start learning to play a bass guitar.

Received the bass earlier than expected, had a minor defect, seller took care of it instantly. Good beginner bass guitar, at that price you can't go wrong!

I got it and it is pretty good, ideal size and structure. the strap is a little bad and i reccomend getting a new one. it also came with a pick and an allen key. Case is not great it's probably good for carrying and stuff but i dont think it gives a lot of protection towards the bass :C. overall really good if you want something sleek and cheap for a beginner.

It appears this seller has a history of selling used products which is exactly what they did to me. Extremely poor quality. As you can see in the picture there’s actually a hole in the fret board. I knew that when the guitar pick snapped (not a real guitar pick just a piece of plastic cut out in the shape of a pick) that quality was not even considered in this bass. From the strap to the cord everything is extremely poor quality. If you read the reviews from several years ago the price has also doubled. Would not recommend this bass to anyone due to the poor quality issues. And the fact that even today they are still doing what others called them out for several years ago selling returned items.

I was quite surprised by the quality of this, so called, cheap-o no name bass. It did not suffer from the usual fret wire sharpness-Thanks! The neck had a slight bow-back which resulted in some buzzing about midpoint on the neck. After a truss rod adjustment this was fixed. The action is now amazing! The intonation was close out of the box. A few strings were ever so slightly sharp but it was subtle. I Love the thinness of the neck - finger to thumb. It's easy to play. My conclusion? I am recommending a strong buy. This bass is badass for the money. If you're a beginner, or you just need a bass. Get it while you can because you won't see prices like these for long. UPDATE: I decided to keep the original strings on because I didn't feel changing them would improve he bass at this time. My only Modification was adding strap-locks.

Update 2, July 22, 2021The bass was working great up to this point until the volume knob came loose and quit working. I assumed a pulled wire so i took it into a guitar shop to have them look it over. The guy took the pick guard off and sure enough a pulled wire. So i told him to go ahead and fix it since i was only being charged $10 to do the work. While he did the work the guy told me two in and out wires had been soldered together that shouldnt have been and he was dumbfounded at how the bass was able to work and play through an amp. He proceeded to unsolder all the wires and re-solder the way they should have been which if you read my original review might have been the screaming noise through the jack port i had gotten right out of the box...maybe, dont know. Sounds like manufacturing this bass wasnt top notch. While at the shop i asked the guy to also go ahead and put brand new slinky eddie ball roundwound strings on (because i was still using the strings that came on the bass out of the box). While doing that the tuning keys stripped out at the gears on the back and he ended up breaking a string while trying to tune. He was never able to get the tuning keys to work again. Again another problem that was put of the box from my original review. So the fix of course would be new keys at $40, $10 for the soldering fix, he also gave me an option where hed go through the bass, adjust the bridge, the neck rod and install everything for 80$ coupled with new strings at 40$, everything wouldve come in at $170. To me if you were a beginner And you had no idea how to adjust these things and had no idea how to do any of this this bass wouldve been a total loss. Noway i would pay that to fix a $90 bass. No way. That aside, i could save the $80 by doing the install and adjusting myself, but still at $54 with tax to fix this bass is a pretty hefty. At this point if im gonna spend 170$ i decided im gonna strip it and repaint it and install genuine parts to make it fun. I made it about a year on this bass....you get what you pay for......your choice. Hope this review helps...Update1:Its been over a month and i have to say this little bass is fun. The neck has stayed pretty well dialed. It hasnt really fallen out of tune since the initial tuning. The keys havnt stripped since the initial tune. The crack hasnt gotten bigger. Doesnt seem to be any issue. The plug port still screams if i move the cord at all. I play sitting down so it isnt too much of an issue for me. Im raising my review to 4 stars from 3. Great starter bass...Original review:Ive played bass for many years and have had several bass'. Im not an expert at picking quality, but i do know a good bass when i play one. That being said, i got this bass for a friend whose bass "grew legs and walked off the stage" They do gigs every week with rotating members. The bass they used was essentially used as a "house" bass for anyone to play. So their need for an expensive bass was not required (and with the possibility of it to get stolen again). So, again, i ordered this bass, got it in, and played it before i gave it to her. I read reviews before i ordered. Seemed to have decent reviews. So it seemed like a good choice.First, i read several reviews where people have said that the headstock needed to be adjusted for string vibration and noises across the frets. I didnt have this problem. The bass came in pretty well dialed. I didnt have to adjust anything on it except, of course, tuning the strings.The strings are pretty mediocre. Theres not much say about them. They do feel rather smooth, but nothing special.The pickups are pretty cheap. Sound isnt as crisp as a set of Seymore Duncans. It actually sounds pretty flat to the ear. With a seasoned ear you can tell that, but for the beginner its just fine. You can tell its a bass guitar. It is relatively clear, but not as crisp as an expensive bass.Now for some issues i had:I plugged the bass in for the first time and had some feedback and screams from the plug port through my amp. I unplugged and plugged back in several times and the issue eventually seemed to fix itself. Not sure if something inside the plug port was loose or what, but it hasnt done it since.While tuning the strings the tuning keys stripped several times. And no i was not overtightening the strings. I did eventually get it in tune and so far no problems with it falling out of tune due to the keys.When i got the bass in my headstock had a pretty gnarly crack in it (see pic). It doesnt seem to be a deep crack but it is definitely a crack and im not sure what the effects of that will be over the long run.Other than that. The bass plays pretty decent no complaints on actually being able to play and make songs a reality. For the money id say its an ok buy. For a beginner its just fine, itll get you from A to B in learning. Or in my situation needed it to fill a need to get the job done.

I am an avid (though amateur) musician. I play a variety of stringed instruments (violin, acoustic guitar, uklele, and dulcimer) and a few others as well. I ordered this electric bass on a whim, and was happily surprised when it arrived. The packaging was not up to par- there was not much to cushion the instrument and I was worried I would open the package only to find the instrument broken. However, it was fully intact and beauifully- glossy, and of a good weight. It came with everything in the description- the cords and picks were inside of the case. Here’s a rundown on the accessories:Picks- standard, run of the mill, a nice bonusStrap- thin, and has the tendency to fall off of bass. I usually play while sitting, so its not much of an issue, but I would recommend buying a higher quality one if you want to perform with this bassCords- sturdy, good qualityBag- not padded, thin plastic, lightweight, good for transportationNow, as many others have said, the wood is soft and will dent easily. For me, this wasn’t too much of a problem, as I intend to keep it inside (no traveling or anything with it). If you would want to travel, I’d suggest investing in a case with a little more padding. The head of bass is unfinished, but is a nice smooth wood. I ordered the blue color, but the blue doesn’t show up too much. It is a gorgeous instrument, however. It was incredibly easy to set up, and I was playing within twenty minutes.Highly recommend as a gift or for a beginner

I play bass professionally and bought this bass as a beater/practice bass/flyswatter but was pleasantly surprised that it is good enough to take to gigs (with a better pickup). It is an absolute steal. It plays well after setup and other than being slightly top heavy, feels great. As everyone else has already said, it arrives with the necks truss rod loosened for shipping - this is normal. You must either set this up yourself, take it to your bass teacher and have him or her do it for you, or take it to any good music store - it doesn't take long. I set it up in about five minutes and got the strings down as low as they would go. No buzz anywhere, frets were level and had no sharp edges. The pickup is weak but functional and just fine for someone learning to play. I replaced mine with a stock Fender P-Bass pickup, so now it sounds like a Fender and plays about as well. The stock strings are functional but are rough and will need to be replaced ASAP, but that is expected with a cheap bass.As I wrote earlier, the bass is top heavy, but other reviews told me that before I ordered it so it was expected. This problem is fairly minor and was solved by adding a little weight to the guitar strap near the bottom of the bass. I use a 1 pound strap through scuba divers weight. It is very light to begin with, so one extra pound isn't going to strain anyone. The strap that comes with the bass is cheap and too short for me, but it's functional and will be just fine, as is the gig bag, cord and the other assorted stuff. Make sure you hang onto the Allen wrenches, you need to make adjustments every few months until the bass settles in completely and the sizes might be a pain in the backside to find. I'm not sure if they are metric, but they probably are. The neck feels smooth and unvarnished, just the way I like it.

I can't believe I got a decent bass for $70. I bought this to learn using . Rocksmith has a tuner built into it so that takes care of that. I read the other reviews that said this bass definitely needs to be setup to sound and play correctly. Sure enough, out of the box the bass was playable but my fingers got tired quickly because the action was set so high off the fret board. And there was a twangy, buzz if you strummed the string to play even moderately loud. So, I perused around Amazon and found a pretty cheap little collection of tools to get everything setup on the bass guitar correctly. The bass comes with it's own truss rod tool and bridge height adjust tool so that's taken care of. You'll need a capo to help set the truss rod, . A feeler gauge with both .015 and .022 width thickness, . A ruler that accurately measures between 3/32 and 4/32 of an inch (.093 - .125 of an inch), . And a set of grinding files of the appropriate width to file down the fret nut saddle, . I just followed along with some online setup guides and was able to set it up on my own in about an hour and a half. For me, I found the truss rod was pretty loose. The bridge height action was set at just over 4/32's on all four strings when really just the top, 4th string needs to be at 4/32. The smaller the string the lower the action needs to be set till the bottom string is at around 3/32. I actually needed to set mine just a bit above 3/32 since it would rattle if I put it right on there. Probably some better strings would let me adjust the height for tighter tolerances. And I had to grind a good bit of material away from the fret nut saddle to bring it down to .022 of an inch. The string length also needed to be tightened just a bit to get the intonation just right. After everything got set this bass guitar turned into a really nice sounding guitarra that plays a clean, mellow note. And the string action became very quick and effortless, which my hand was much grateful of. Basically it's like from the factory it was set to just being acceptable and everything just needed those last few twists of the screws to tighten everything up to right where it needed to be. Now I'm plucking away to songs on Rocksmith and having a great ole' time. It takes a little bit of work to get it there, but once it's setup properly this guitar is a tremendous value.
