Jive Bass
Dan Veall • Guitar Interactive • December 2013
"The attention to detail is welcome, not only in the feel of the neck profile but also in that this instrument is nicely balanced and surprisingly lightweight. A very good bass for not a lot of money."

The Brian May Bass
Gareth Morgan • Guitar & Bass Magazine • August 2014
"A fine-looking beast with a heap of '60s flavour which harks back to wilder times. The basic sound is excellent; nice & fat with growling lows & an overall feeling of controlled aggression."
