VB-015 3/4
Purchased this bass on Amazon after researching for a inexpensive upright for some time. Thought I better write a review on it since nobody else has. This is a great production bass and worth every penny. Been practicing on it for some time and can't find anything wrong even though I try. Ok, so the bass could have had somebody brush the pinstripe purfling better, and I wish I could play more like Oscar Pettiford. But out of the box this bass rocks. Palatino does a great setup. I have nothing againist Engelhardt as they make a great bass in this price range also as I know, but I liked the features of this bass and rolled the dice and must say I am surprised. This is a great student bass and would recommend it to anybody who likes to practice and or perform.

Very pleasantly surprised!
I was extremely nervous to buy an instrument sight unseen but I needed something to play while my bass was incapacitated. After some delivery issues and delays in getting it set up I am pleasantly surprised. I was worried that the neck would be too wide to play comfortably but both the neck and fingerboard are easily playable. The body is very wide but the cutout assists with getting around to those higher notes. Sound quality was much better than I expected and after I replace the strings I can only imagine that it will sound even better.I'll be glad to return to my mid-range bass once it is fixed but this is going to be a great instrument to gig on in the meantime.

Billy Bass
I purchased the Billy Bass approx a year and a half ago and love it! I play mostly a Fender Jazz bass but needed an upright for a few songs a set in the new band I started working with. I researched, talk to other Bassist's and played a few uprights. The Billy Bass was my choice. The design, construction and sound has been consistently above what I would have expected for a bass at this price. I've since added a bridge P/U and upgraded the strings. I would not hesitate to recommend this bass as a reliable and great sounding entry level bass or as a addition to you bass arsenal!
