This bass was purchased in December of 2004. It took 6 weeks of hassle to get Samick to ship me this beautiful looking and sounding bass.

I play R&B, Rock, Folk, Jazz and this bass has a beautiful round sound that I was very impressed with.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
1
The fit and finish were very good. I just had to adjust the neck a little since it came from a dry climate to a humid one. After having the bass for less than one month the entire bridge and bone nut just fell off. I had the bass sent back to Samick and they promised me a new one, 3 weeks later still nothing. Many calls to Samick i was told the bass is being shipped. My last call they told me they are going to fix my broken bass. I wouldnt recommend any Samick product to anyone. I think they have the worst business paractices of any Guitar Company I have ever encountered and I am extremely sorry that I ever purchased anything from them.

After my experiance I believe this bass poorly built not worth the money and have nothing good to say about this bass.
Customer Support

The worst cutomer support ever. I cant count the calls anymore and the heated calls in regaurds to them getting me a new bass as promised. In the end I was told they are going to fix my lemon. I would not recommend any Samick Product to anyone STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAMMING GUITAR COMPANY!!!! All thier guitars should read "Buy at your own risk"
Overall Rating

I have been playing for 25 years and own everything under the sun from cheap $500 basses to 3,800 dollar basses and mastering quaulity gear. Every company I have ever delt with was average to excellent in service. There should be a new Cesspool catagory as this is where I would place Samick for giving me nothing but heartache and run round for over 4 months now!!!!!!
