All user reviews for the Kingston Bass

No idea of ​​the origin, the country of manufacture or anything. I wanted to try the bass, to see ... A friend was selling a low 50 € I took.

UTILIZATION

The handle is uncomfortable, too big, is super sore fingers, bass heavy enough but nothing more.

Access to acute passable.

SOUNDS

When you touch the strings, there's noise coming out of the amp, then to call it a sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I played 6 months intermittent, time to see the bass I liked (but not thanks to this one)

I bought a Squier jazz bass which figure racing machine of death that kills in comparison.

What I like +? It is black
What I like - Everything else

I do not like to be rude but I completely joined the previous opinion. This is crap :/

not to buy, but can be hung on the wall for decoration

Purchase: I purchased this guitar from ebay. It was quick and easy and took about 3 weeks to arrive. I paid $147.99 w/ shipping and handling.

Like's: I'm really impressed with the quality of this guitar for being a cheapy. It's no fender or gibson, but it rocks.

Dislikes: The only thing i can think of is that the strings were to high off the fret board. It was easy to fix.

Quality Scale: On a scale of 1-10 this is probably a 5.60. Mine was a custom with a maple fret board.

This is a cool guitar and is pretty cheap.

Its a 3/4 size of whatever. I purchased this bass for $60.00 on sale at a pawn shop in the summer of 2001 or 2002. I was 14 or 15 at the time and did not really know much about guitars. This guitar helped me play better and learn bass, but needless to say its a piece of junk. The strings and frets rattle, I put some stickers on it. Then got a regular electric guitar, then a Squier Affinity P bass, which is the bomb.com.. I learned how to play regular guitar quite well and yesterday got a Jag Stang (fender). I dont recommend Kingston they are a Canadian company who are not very reputable, so Ive heard.. This is the cream white model.

I like its size its cute, and that it influenced my music style because it is my "first guitar" or what not.

Its just junky..It might be vintage or something but it rattles, buzzes, and just plays bad.

Its cheaply made. Rosewood neck, alder or bass wood body. Regular bass pickups, nothing special.

I think the bass is not good, its ok if you are a beginner like I was and or a kid who's looking for a cheap piece of equipment.

I had been looking for a 70's style bass with a fast action for awhile when I ran up on this little gem at Dan's Cash America Pawn in Louisville KY. This is a very fast
bass. I only paid $80.00 and, even though it's not a big name, I think it was an exceptional value.

As I mentioned the neck is fast with very comfortable string spacing and so on. Tone is very good and it keeps tune surprisingly well. It has a chrome, Humbuck style pick-up, pick gaurd (nice and big like I wanted),
chrome tuners and so on. It has a real vintage look and sound to match. The red sunburst style color makes it stand out as little different from the norm.

On the down side I wish it had a longer neck, it only has 20 frets. It has 1, I think original, humbuck style pick-up. I would have preferred a 2-pick-up, but as a said the tone was so good I couldn't pass it up. Weight is a little heavey but, it is very well balanced, so you don't notice the weight so much. It has a few little nicks from careless handling I wish weren't there and it is showing a little use wear.

Construction is A-1. It has a solid wood body and neck, though I can't tell exactly what type but it must be a hard wood judging from the weight. It has a steel reinforced, bolt on neck. The overall quality is surprisingly good.

I am very pleased overall with this guitar. It has the right "feel". I beleive it to be a rare bird.

Me and my friends decieded to start a band. I decieded to play bass because my friend and an regular electric guitar. My friends cousin had a bass he wanted to sell. He sold it to me for $25.

I like the color of the guitar. I like the brand. The neck of the guitar is it good condition. It should be brought in to be fixed up but I don't have any money.

I don't like somethings on it because they are broken. Sometimes since its broken it doesn't play right and it as some white marks on the head of the guitar.


It was a good quality guitar but it has had its better days. It is well built though.The string are still in good shape but it is way out of tune. It is a basic guitar it is the shape of a regular guitar. One thing wrong with it is where you plug the amp cord in is loose and sometimes it doesn't work than.

I would like to have that guitar because I think it could help are band. I'm 14 right now and maybe in a couple of years with the help of that guitar are band could be famous. I think are band would kick ass with that guitar. It would make my life joyous.

Low Korean sub-low end. The shape of a Fender Precision, without skid plate and two passive pickups (PB in the neck and JB in the bridge), with a volume control with microphone and an overall tone control. The handle is decorated with 20 frets (originally, mine was défrettée). The hardware is partly light metal relatively cheap, partly chromed plastic.

UTILIZATION

The handle is not really thick, but it's still easy bad hand when playing a long time. The access is limited by a sharp heel all there is more square, the thickness of the body, but with 20 frets, there is anyway not much to expect from this side. For cons, the body is at least comfortable enough for my shape, the right hand comes naturally sit on.

SOUNDS

The sound is ok without to start learning to play, but that's all. It is better not to venture on stage, unless you have a good amp behind. With a SansAmp, it becomes tolerable without being miraculous. The pickups are fairly low, that lack of energy, it does not snore as a model a little more upscale. In addition, the microphones are very sensitive to noise.

Défrettée on my bass, it remains in the same world, it sometimes borders just a bit too much to be good despite setting a new and more than adequate, and the noise level tends to fall as soon as one goes up a little in the treble. In short, it is suitable for learning, no more, no less.

OVERALL OPINION

It is on this bass that I cut my teeth, and I still use it as a toy experiment (hence the unshrinking). In this context, it is very correct, a score. on the other hand, it is not at all suited to play "serious".

Lower Korean I think. at around 20 frets to the origin. The body is alder I think, and chipboard table. The key, rosewood very low end. the key is made of wood very fragile limit rotten. Bridge type JazzBass. 3 pots: a what I've seen the original, there are two general tone and volume of 500k. The one I own has been completely transformed by my hands: change pots, microwave, unshrinking, opening ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is really not pleasant, it is not very thick, but large, impractical. The access to acute is not terrible, uncomfortable. The key is flat.
In weight, I admit, it is light but it's normal since that is how the body.

It is fairly well balanced. Body shape is roughly a fender PB, the body design is pleasant, comfortable.
The sound, I know, I changed the pickups and the pots.

SOUNDS

It's a crappy original, rather his rocker, with a normal type micro Precision bass, but can be obtained with the combination of PB and JB micro approaching sounds of blues, funk, jazz, especially fretles mode.

OVERALL OPINION

I recently, a friend give it to me for me to retype, I have almost everything over again, now it is fretless, the level of acute frieze over it, at any point, it does frieze is that I took special care to sand down .. I like anything except that it is fretless, but otherwise it's a low shit, if you buy new, get ready to you sucider! on the other hand, if you changed it you may get a much better bass and much more interesting that initially (but it will remain shit). The only point where it is practical is that it's a low extraordinarily effective in respect of the experimental (everyone says), otherwise, first bass, I recommend starting with her, it gives not want to play, except on biensur if you find one that has been modified correctly, carefully, so here you can find her good qualities but enough crap to know and love tinkering. With the changes I make, it is better than it could be in its infancy. It has no potential

But bought new, it is clearly the shit like bass!

DO NOT BUY
