I injured my left hand, making it impossible to play long scale basses anymore, so I started looking around for short scale instruments. Along with bass ukuleles and mini acoustics, I saw the Fender mini and decided to give it a shot. Since I’ve been playing Fenders all my life it seemed like a no brainer. I saw the reviews that said they needed lots of set up and adjustments, so I was prepared for that. Maybe the techs at Fender read the reviews too, because mine was dead on perfect right out of the box. Intonation, neck, string height, pickups, all perfect. And I love the satin neck instead of the sticky gloss finish that Fender sometimes uses. I agree the strings are not the best, and that is literally my only quibble. I’ve owned a lot of basses over the years, but I think I take the most satisfaction from this one, because it lets me play real bass again. And for anyone who cares, it has a really nice “cool factor”. This is a great deal all around.

Received today, good packaging. Sounds great, not too big or heavy for my little one. Perfect for a child learning.

I’ve been playing guitar for 20 years and now finally just started to get into bass guitar as well. The bass sounds great. It’s a very tood budget friendly bass guitar. Now I can do some easy jamming to songs if I don’t feel like playing guitar. Highly recommend!

Die Lieferung habe ich schnell erhalten. Die Ware kam sehr gut verpackt mit ein Kennwort an. Mein Enkel hatte sich diese Gitarre gewünscht. Man glaubt gar nicht, was diese kleine für ein Sound rausbringt. Er ist so happy damit. Kann diese Gitarre nur weiter empfehlen.

I use this in my recording studio, the fret widths are comfortable, the action and the sound needs no tweaking,

I was so pleasantly surprised by the thump I got when I plugged it in and played it the first time. I love the light weight. I love the look of it hanging next to my full sized p-bass and j-bass. The tone is good. The feel is awesome. The scale is comfortable. I teach kids and they love playing it with their tiny hands. It makes the bass accessible as an instrument.

Sounds great, looks great, super versatile. My hands are screwed as I've had to have 7 operations and 10 procedures performed on them. I had to give up guitar and piano but won't give up playing music. This short-scale bass goes a long way to keep me playing. It is much easier to hit the notes than a regular-size p-bass. It would have been 5 stars if the fret ends weren't so ragged. I've left blood on the fretboard more than once. Despite the rough, unrefined fret ends, I love this bass.

"It wants to be a P Bass when it grows up." That was the first thought I had when I opened the box but this bass plays and sounds great. I am an old fart and have a few health issues and was finding it hard to move my fingers fast enough on my full size P Bass so for the price I thought I would give this a try. It has not disappointed me I love this bass. It is a lot lighter than my full scale approx. 6 lbs. vs 10 lbs. and the fret board is much easier to navigate for my arthritic hand than a full size. I would recommend this for anyone with smaller hand and those that have slight movement issues in there hands. Photo is not that great but it will give you a rough idea of the size difference. The only negative I have found is that it is hard to find accessories like pickguards and flat wound strings (I settled for ground wounds which I have never tried before but now I found them to be a nice alternative).

ショートスケールのベースが欲しくてあれこれ物色した結果、こいつにぶち当たりました。まず、コスパ面でダントツでした。Fenderブランドで27000円以内ってーのが一番の決め手です。イシバシ楽器さんも頑張ってくれて、想定内の納期に間に合わせて頂きました。もちろん、不具合もありません。ただ言わせてもらえば、思ったより小っちゃいです。特にボディが。故に軽いという利点もあるのですが、立って弾くにも座って弾くにも、バランスがイマイチ。材質も関係あるのか(これはメーカーに対しての愚痴ですけど…)。私は基本ギタリストなのでベースの音の良し悪しは解りませんが、充分な出力はあると思います。運指のし易さも抜群です。特筆すべき事柄は、全長が普通のエレキギターと大差ない事。つまり、エレキギター用のハードケースに収まってしまうって事なんです。レスポール用のハードケースには厚みが余る感じですけど、メロディーメーカーとかレスポールライト用のハードケースならしっくりくるんじゃないかしら(あくまで個人の感想って事は言うまでも無いですよね)?Fender系のハードケースはあいにく持ち合わせて無いので検証しておりません。そんなこんなで星四つってとこかしら?でもオイラは満足してます。あと、ボディ色もホワイト(ピックガードは黒ね)があればよかったかな?シド・ビシャスみたいな…。追記です。ボディも小さければ、ストラップピンも小さいです。そこまでダウンサイジングが必要なの?って思っちゃいました。チャンチャン

I got this for my son who is learning bass, it fits his hands and he's able to carry it due to the smaller scale length and lower weight (compared to a standard size bass). The frets are neatly done, no sharp edges that I noticed. The pickups work well for the amp that he has.Two issues that I have: there was no included carry case, I ended up using a spare that I had but as a student guitar it would have been nice for this to have come with a carry case. Also the strap buttons were very small and a standard guitar strap would pull right off of them. I ended up replacing the strap buttons with standard size ones from a spare guitar and then we could use a regular guitar strap. I'm not sure why the small strap buttons were used, the screws are exactly the same as what's used on a full size strap button. Some people may not use a strap and this may not be an issue.Overall the guitar looks great, sounds great, and plays great...if you want to pick up a carry case that's really the only accessory you need unless you want a strap, in which case I would recommend changing to full size strap buttons, which are not that expensive.

I bought this for my daughter and it's been great for her. I play bass myself and was pleased that the action, intonation and setup were really good. It has the P bass sound. I think it would be a good platform for upgrades with pickups and a bridge etc. Great little bass!
