Beauty of a Bass

This bass is absolutely amazing! The shorter scale makes it perfect for people just starting out on bass. It's super comfortable to play and has an amazing tone! Awesome buy for the money

Big Bang in the Bucket

(4.0)
echtzeit2012 on February 19, 2013
Amateur Blues Rock Pop Rock

The T-Bucket is a medium scale acoustic bass that gives you sweet and lowdown tones for a very good price.
The neck has a convenient feel even for smaller hands. Its body is "grand concert sized" which is not too big, so it's easy to play seated on your couch to play with your favourite music or just noodling around.
It may be a bit silent for using it around a campfire but plugged in an amp and stringed with some nylon coated strings you get a deep bass tone that sounds almost like an upright bass.
The T-Bucket may not be the best choice for the bass pro but for guitarists and/or bass beginners like me it's the best choice to start with.
Big bang for the bucks!
