Small but plays big!
These minion basses are absolutely perfect for me and I'm not a kid. I'm a 6ft tall older man and the full scale basses are heavy and hard on my shoulders and back. These Jacksons are perfect for me. They play very nice after a quick setup. This is my 2nd one. I have the white and the black. I can't say anything bad about them....I absolutely love em. If you had one in a decent red with a maple fretboard I'd probably have 3. (HINT HINT)

It plays rather well, I haven't plugged in yet, but it came packaged up very good. So far I'm satisfied.edit I just plugged it in and it sounds as good as my charvette, I personally feel I got a little more than I paid for. I've been playing 30ish years, it's going to be great for my grandkids if they can get it out of my hands lol

Versatile bass for those of us who have small hands and don’t want to play an instrument as large as we are. The sound quality is amazing but there is a little bit of fret buzz and the action could be better. The deep pickup is a little less than desired but overall it’s a great bass.

I am a drummer, not a bassist. I was looking simply for a great base at an affordable price. I did a ton of research and watched many vids of pros trying out different brands of bases at this price point. This seemed by far the best! I was very impressed once I received it. Great quality components, great size for a short stocky guy like myself with smaller hands at 51. It sounds great through the amp and works fantastic for recording. Lastly, It looks absolutely stunning, much nicer than in pics. Overall very impressed and will be ordering another one for my son.
