  Playability  
 
This bass plays and sounds great! It is head and shoulders above any other bass in itnulls price range.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
The bass has a very deep resonate sound due to the fact that it has a solid spruce top. It is fairly loud even without an amplifier.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
This is a very well made bass. It should last for years with no problems.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
There are better acoustic basses out there (Tacoma, Martin, Taylor) but for this kind of money ($199) you cannullt beat it! I played several others that cost more than this bass and they all sounded weak acoustically. I am thrilled with this bass. I think itnulls a steal at this price.
