Fazley Modern Series FMB418 Sunburst Electric Bass Guitar
My first Bass, so this isnt exactly a review by a seasoned expert...
I am now very happy with the way it sounds, plays, and looks. Stays in tune fine. Frets aren't too rough.
Three caveats though:
- I wasn't too enamoured of the initial set of strings. Swapped them out for some from a recognised brand name and it now plays rather more nicely.
- The info that it came with was a bit sparse. FYI the four controls are, from neck to bridge: Tone (neck), Volume, Tone (Bridge), Mix (Neck // Bridge).
- The head area has a few minor niggles - you might prefer smaller tuning pegs and to have them all be on the top, rather than having two on the underside, but this is at most a minor quibble.
At the £100 ish price point; 5 stars once the teething troubles are overcome and teh niggles can be ignored. 4 stars for the bass as delivered.
