this was my first bass that owned. Somewhat crappy of a bass. P-stle pickups, 20 fret rosewood neck, crappy machineheads. 2 knobs, tone and volume. Passive electronics. Action was to high and the no matter what i did the frets always buzzed. But since then I have converted it into a decent sounding fretless bass. It sounds better without the frets than it ever would with them
Sound

P-style pickups don't offer alot of sounds. Not enough for me. All you get on this bass is "mudd". I will never get a p-style bass for the reason that this one wasn't any good. P&J style possibly but not a Precission. I'll never get another samick thats for sure.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Action was tooo high, Finish sucked, This piece of crap wood has knots all over it, you can see it very well through the natural finish. I mean come on, couldn't they have at least painted it black so i wouldn't have something else to complain about? It would be pretty if it didn't have those black knots all over it
Reliability/Durability

Durability?no Rekliable? yes. Even though it is an aweful ugly bass, i've never had a problem with it, I will never play it again except for improving on playing a fretless. Making this baby a fretless was a good choice. Now i can sell it for $50 instead of $10.

What a crapper. It is a good beginner bass though, no doubt about that. You get what you pay for and thats it. I know have several basses and this just doesn't need to be in the presence of greatness.
I don't care if this bass was stolen. I was naive and didn't know anything about the world of sexual bass playing when i got it. Now that i have seen the light, this bass just makes me sick. No samick for me, or ibanez, they are too closely related, Give me a tobias, warwick, Ken Smith, Ernie ball, even a fender, No more samick,
