Order a budget encore blaster bass guitar and amp pack. This came the next day which was amazing. I have played the guitar for many years and fancied a go at bass playing. I know this guitar is budget but amazed how it can be bought and delivered for this excellent price amp works great and the guitar was even in tune when I opened the box. The neck was straight, body paint nicely done, tuners seem budget but good , pick ups are more than sufficient. There was a few minor imperfections on the head stock but for the price this was amazing. This would make a great beginner bass for adults or kids. Thank you. R Noyes
