Squier Mini P Bass Dakota Red

Both Thomann and Fender did an awesome job at packaging this bass.
The instrument sounds great out of the box, I just had to tweak the octave intonation a little.
It is well-balanced and confortable to play both sitting and standing.
The sound is what you would expect from a P bass and messing with the knobs lets you get a wide enough sonic range.
If you need a bass to play while sitting on the couch or to bring with you on holiday this is the way to go.

I absolute love this little bass. Sure, it doesn't sound the same as a full scale, but the thing is, it sounds *different* - not better, not worse, just different.

I gave the quality only 4 stars though. It needed a bit of setup work after having received it - more so than other guitars I've purchased. It seems the quality control in the factory might not be quite so high as on some of their other products.

I got this bass to learn a new instrument and it was a great choice. A short scale bass is easy to hold and learn the basics.
However, if you want to record bass for your songs it is not a good fit.

Some quality contol issues but a good sound bass for the price definately
