Palatino VE-550 Electric Upright Bass, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think this is a great bass for beginners to learn on.I wouldn't suggest using it in a band.There are a few things you need to adjust.I had to put a piece of styrofoam at the bottom (below the bridge) to prevent the G string from vibrating to much.You also need to sand down the piece of wood where the strings meet to the board.Its a little too high and it makes you press harder than you really need to.I chose this one to practice because its inexpensive compared to others and later down the road, if I'm still doing it, I'll be looking into getting a higher quality one which costs in the thousands.
