So, so good!!

Was looking for a Jazz Bass - played a few in stores here in Australia - but then I remembered seeing Guy Pratt talk about these on YouTube. I love Guy's playing, so I thought why not?

Now that I've got it, I love it so much!! Neck is beautiful, thin and smooth, action is just right and sound (EMG's) is just perfect. A great bass at any price, and this was a great price.

Arrived here in Australia in about a week - so super fast too!!

And the colour? Burgundy Mist. Best ever.

Thanks Bass Centre (and Guy Pratt).

Sounds just like Bruce

I played the solar flare BT Bass only for an hour as this is a Christmas gift to my daughter, but it is amazing how good it feels and sounds. Just a really well designed, well built instrument with a classic P-bass sound right out of the gate. Zero adjustments and I love the strings.

Great value, great service.

Just arrived. They sound really nice! Feel smooth but a tad sticky on my fingers where they are new... just oiling them and playing them in now. I recommend!

Really nice quality strings, comfy on the fingers, and they sound great on my Status Kingbass. Recommended.

Amazing bass

Right out of the box, the setup was perfect and it plays amazingly. The bass itself is lightweight and sits very comfortably. I love the tone from the EMG pickups. It’s got nice warmth with a tiny bit of attitude.

Overall I’m extremely pleased. Shipping was very fast from the UK to Canada.

Been using Elites since I was 15, which was a freakin' long time ago! Excellent, just bought a six string so stuck these on. Only thing that could improve this set is if the B was tapered.

Cheers, Bass Centre.

I’m delighted with this instrument. It has a great tone, is great to play, and looks good. I’d recommend getting the spike adaptor kit if you want to sit down to play at all. For the price it’s unbelievable quality.

Excellent service from the Bass Centre.

Nice Jazz

I ordered from US (Virginia), and it got here quick (about a week). No issues with shipping and packed well.

First thing I noticed is that the finish looks better in person than I thought it was going to from the photos, it’s a really classy looking bass. It’s lightweight, came with 40-100 roundwounds, and set up well with good action out of the box. I prefer the lighter strings so I was happy to see it didn’t come with the standard 45-105s. Neck feels really nice, and the ebony fretboard is a step up from a standard Jazz copy. The active EMGs also help this bass stand above most Jazz clones in this price range. No doubt, it’s just as good as the Lakland Skyline, Sire, or Fender (Japan and Mexico) I have owned.

Overall solid choice and great value. These aren’t too common in the US, it’s always nice to have a “conversation starter” bass. People want to know the story behind it.
