Donner Electric Bass Guitar 4 Strings Full-Size Standard Bass PJ-Style Electric Bass for Adults with Free Online Lesson,Gig Bag Guitar Strap and Guitar Cable Included, DPJ-100, Red

I’ve had this bass for 7 months and it has lasted very well, the strings are still in great shape the sound quality is great. The bass is a bit heavy but overall comfortable, the strings feel good on the fingers and it is easy to play. It is a great choice for beginners.

Well it had been years since i played but took it out the box tuned it and non stop played dfor a couple hours the first day, the bass was beautiful ,donner sraped it up resl niceim enjoying it real good ,and im glad i bought a tuner from donner im a stickler for the right tune..overall its a sweet base and im impressed with it..

I have large hands and long fingers and am used to large, heavy, PJ basses. Anytime you buy a bass you should have a set up done either by yourself or someone else but I saw no need for one right out of the box. I will eventually change the round wounds to flats but they are fine for now. I'm not normally a fan of active basses but this active system worked well enough. I found a setting I liked and plan to leave it there forever. I've played bass all my life and at this point it's just a hobby and I like having one around. I can't find anything wrong with this bass but if you are a pro I can't tell you how this thing will hold up over time with greater use. Then again if you are a pro why are you looking at 189.00 basses?

I play guitar, but wanted a bass for recording and did not want to spend a lot of money. This fit the bill perfectly. It arrived in perfect condition. The finish and feel are great. The sound is good from the stock pickups. I'm happy with this purchase.

Let me begin by saying I'm not a bassist; in fact, I'm not even a great guitarist, but rather an enthusiast who likes to experiment in his home studio. That being said, I purchased this for myself so I could lay down some rudimentary bass lines to glue together some song ideas ahead of someone else doing the real work, so take my comments in that context.I have to say, I LOVE this bass! As an owner of 3 other guitars, I CAN recognize good build quality and this certainly exemplifies that. There isn't a single blemish on this thing--it's shiny, slick and pretty. It's also SOLID, but not overly heavy. I'd guess it weighs about 7 or 8 freedom units (pounds) and its center of gravity is probably about the fourth fret from the end of the neck, so there's an ever so slight tendency for neck dive, but that's without the friction of a strap, just me holding it against my stomach and playing (yes, there is a carved comfort scoop).As it arrived, it was ALMOST in tune; the strings feel nice, well-coated so they're smooth with no biting. The tuners seem to work and one thing that actually surprised me is that it appears to have a bone nut--it's gritty, off-white and carved perfectly for each different string girth. The tuners are simple, but effective. At the other end, the bridge and saddles seem solid enough, though I'm not an expert, so I included a close-up picture for you to decide. The action is ever so slightly high due to my fingers being a just a bit shorter than average, but that's easily remedied. I included a pic of that, too, for your own reference.The knobs for the pots offer a pleasant resistance--just enough to feel substantial. The knobs themselves are straight and are installed securely. The pickups seem to be seated adequately and overall; this thing feels solid and pleasant to hold, which is important--especially if you're going to be using this for more than a couple of minutes.As for the playing, I like the classic P-Bass tone that this Donner provides; I ran this through my DAW and everything sounds good. Like I said, I'm not a professional bassist, but I was more than pleased with the sound I got. The strings stayed in tune and I had a great time. I'm not the next Michael Anthony or anything, but based on my experience as an incredibly mediocre guitarist, I'd say anyone else could probably get even more out of it.I will admit to one thing being a slight demerit in the evaluation of this bass: there is a tiny (I mean almost imperceptible, but not quite) bit of fret sprout on about three of the frets, something that is easily addressed by anyone with a luthier's kit--which, as the owner of 4 guitars now, I happen to possess. Fixing those frets will require about 5 minutes of work.The bundle includes a NICE, padded gig bag, a strap, a cable (which is surprisingly thick and deluxe-feeling) and an Allen wrench. The bass alone would have been a solid value, but with the added bundle, this is a home run for anyone who's a beginning/sometime/pro bassist (in need of an inexpensive backup). There are virtually no flaws and for the price, the potential downside is almost non-existent.

Admittedly, I was a bit bummed when the delivery got delayed, but at least I got my Bass. Nothing scratched, missing or broken.Upon first glance and inspection/adjustment, this thing is an absolute beauty to hold. Gonna have to switch out the strings some time in the future though.Nevertheless, it's comfortable, it's high quality, the size is perfect, and the tuneability pretty cool. Definitely recommend this bass for any beginners.

I STARTED PLAYING BASS IN 1963. I HAVE HAD MANY TOP END BASSES. I LEARNED TO WORK ON MY OWN GUITARS THROUGH THE YEARS. I ORDERED THE SUNBURST DONNER P BASS. I WAS QUITE PLAYABLE RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX, I WAS IMPRESSED RIGHT AWAY! INTONATION WAS PERFECT, THE FRET ENDS WERE A BIT SHARP, AND NEEDED A LITTLE FILING. EASY FIX (FOR ME). I ALWAYS PLAY FLAT WOUND STRINGS, SO I PUT ON SOME LABELLA FLATS..... THE DONNER BASS NEAR COMPARES TO ANY AMERICAN FENDER P BASS THAT I HAVE OWNED. (AT LEAST THE ONE THAT I GOT)> GREAT WORKMANSHIP TOO!I THINK THAT DONNER HAS 'UPPED' THEIR GAME, AND IS PUTTING OUT SOME PRETTY DARN GOOD PRODUCTS THESE DAYS ,AND HAS EARNED MORE RESPECT FROM ME FOR SURE.. update: after owning it for a month or so.......... THIS IS NOW MY 'GO TO' BASS I LOVE IT! AS I SAID, I MADE MY OWN MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE GUITAR.
