The School I teach at purchased one of these. I am a professional bass player with top line gear, but I loved this bass from day 1. It played beautifully and sounded great. I would recommend this to anyone beginner or profession
This was my first Bass. Served me well for 6 years until I saved up enough to buy myself my dream bass. I still REALLY enjoy playing this bass. The short scale is a really nice change and I sometimes take it to my gigs just to switch it up. Great tone with my sansamp Tech 21 DI and Fender Rumble 500. I play many instruments but for me theres just something different about playing bass. Its almost like magic happening in my hands. I love the low frequency punch. The glue of holding down the band with the drummer. Its just an amazing instrument to me. Before I got one I looked at bass as 'guitar but easier' damn was I wrong lol. 'Guitar but better' is more like it!
Ah, the myth that beginners start with a short scale. I started off playing a 36" scale 5-string, and I play - among my basses - a Bronco. They're the best deal in basses and surprisingly good quality for the price but it has no fingerboard, which doesn't bother me at all. The "fingerboard" is the neck.
People find them less intimidating in general, especially if they're of a smaller stature. Start with what works for you, there's no right answer for everyone!
I had one in the early 90's and set it up to my liking and it was one of the best BASS GUITARS I ever played and I have played Fender, Alembic, Gibson and Rickenbacker I wish I still had that Bass.
This bass is super fun to play it might be my number one right now its just super easy to play and i think it sounds awesome. Sometimes my p bass feels to bulky and i have trouble playing fast
Hey, I remember Boy Meets World, with Rider Strong. My daughter loved this show. Where's the curly haired dude with the girlfriend, who was way too hot for him? Which episode is this?
@@Jdjdenedidokalaos It's just a little joke. The guy in the video, looks a little bit like Rider Strong, especially when he got older and grew a beard. The joke is this: I'm acting like this is a lost episode of the show and I missed it somehow. I showed this to my daughter and she said, he does look like Rider Strong. Back in the 90s, I let her watch it every week. I used to tell my two sons: "It's girl time! Sara gets to watch some of her girl shows now. If you don't like them, go play in the bedroom".
@@Jdjdenedidokalaos Girl Meets World is the spin off series, featuring the characters, Corey and Topanga as parents, after they've grown up. Rider Strong's character, Shawn was Corey's best friend in the original series. He was not a main character in the second series. He was only a recurring character in several episodes and Rider directed 16 episodes. If you do a Google images search for Rider Strong and look for his pics with a beard as he got older, you'll see the resemblance.
I've had this bass for about 2 1/2 years and i wanna learn how to slap, but it doesn't seem to work on this baas, there's not really a slap/pop tone generated from it. Idk if it's somethin to do with the amp or what am i doin wrong?
Try having the tone pot fully on and having your right hand close to the base of the neck! You can definitely slap on one of these, just takes practice! Good luck!
Liked it, but this is the second video where yall go on and on about how it's a good starter bass. Shit nikkuh I got mine for 20 bucks. Got it tested at the local music store a few months back and it works great :D Just bought a Orange Crush 50 watt bass combo amp yesterday, and for all intents and purposes I intend to master and keep the bass I have. Why go unnecessarily long neck? Mine is black, and it's a keeper bass. Maybe someday I'll change my mind. Anyhoot :D
i have has this bass for close to 5 months now, and after taking great care of it and only transporting it inside of a case there is already a very large crack on the back of the fretboard, which for me has made playing uncomfortable sometimes. i understand i bought a very cheap bass so im getting what i paid for really. another thing is this bass seems to be completely incapable of playing slap
Seems odd, unless there is a fault with it or somehow it's been bashed without you realising it, I don't know how the crack would happen. Definitely a possible QC issue, bit have you had it properly set up? By either yourself or a tech?
@@samsmelser_ I bought a $300 5 string Ibby instead after trying both out. I want to eventually get a Bronco though, the portability is something I need, being a high school bass player with not a lot of space.
The only thing I don't like is the bridge my friend from band class has one of these and I like it better then my Ibanez mikro because it sounds good and stays in tune way better it's so much better the only thing
Scooting 902 oh ok, I use like a fender rumble or something like that but maybe I just need to turn up the treble. For u try lowering the treble and raising the bass. Just don’t turn the treble/tone knob all the way up
First off bought one..had to Set the intonation ..adjust the truss rod..set action and for sure got rid of the insane fret ends..after my basic setup plays like a $180 dream! Good stuff..oh yeah you suck!!
Only two finishes and you all have 10/10 opinions on it. Ok. There is difference between "it's great" as in "high value for the price" and "it's great" as in "my very biased brain likes it for no objective reason".
@@Questmusicstore Eh I must've been frustrated that day because right now I really have no problem with anyone playing any instrument be it the absolute top value choice or just a standard brand-name choice that potentially doesn't offer as much for the price. Play what makes you happy, I'm sorry.
The School I teach at purchased one of these. I am a professional bass player with top line gear, but I loved this bass from day 1. It played beautifully and sounded great. I would recommend this to anyone beginner or profession
i'm getting this bass pretty soon, really excited about it. i've never played bass before, so this is going to be a perfect one to start out on
Can you give an update if you got it or not?

This is a great bass. I would play this on stage, even if I was touring with a popular artist.
Love this bass too it's a true classic
I think Mike Dirnt used one of these on stage once. Shows you how great they are.
RobInvictus he uses P-Tele bass
the popular artist won't let you
Would you use one if you were touring with an unpopular artist?

My very first bass, brings back lots of memories !
Is it worth getting? I'm thinking about getting one for a friend of mine
@@SeanDS89 yes 👍
It feels like playing a telecaster and thats super awesome
Man I love it when basses look easy on the eyes
Definitely gonna get one to record some basslines with :). I've heard plenty of great records where this bass was used.
Send the song names 👀
@@daisuke_thrasher7032 just listen to toro y moi's early work
@@daisuke_thrasher7032 toro y moi juiced this thing for a lot of funky basslines
I just saved up for one of those, and I’m getting it in black!!!
Right on, you'll have ton of fun with it
@@tylertehninja Here’s my demo video:
ruclips.net/video/c5k_Yg6XFdM/видео.html
I put flatwounds on mine. Sounds super vintage.
Want to build my own short scale bass - am I right in thinking this is a good bass to steal the neck from?
Yeah you’re in the right. It’s a great bass.
thanks for Info.
This bass is super fun to play it might be my number one right now its just super easy to play and i think it sounds awesome. Sometimes my p bass feels to bulky and i have trouble playing fast
how is the pickup?
@@JohnDavis-yj7lf pickup could be better it can sound a little thin at times
@@sk8terboi10003 Thanks, I'll take hat into consideration. Probably stick a 51 p bass pickup in one! Cheers!
I got mine for the low, low price of free. I'm pleasantly surprised at how easily it plays.
Can I get a free one pls
Got one of these coming tomorrow super excited
Man that thing sounds sweet!
A lot of value packed in that price!
Have it love it❤

How does it compare to the Squier mini p bass?
The Mini P sounds like a P bass, this does not.

@@skybluemarshall i get told this all the time, you're not the only one haha
Nice Bass. Good sound
Ordered a shell pink finish.
what amp should i buy for this? just got the guitar but don't know what equipment i should get with it
get rocksmith
Help friend, which is better bronco bass vs mini p bass ...? For a begginer 12 years old
I got the badtz-maru one
Congrats! That’s a great bass
So is it worth it or are there any other options I should consider?
Other options: Squier Mini Precision, Epiphone EB-0, Epiphone EB-3, Ibanez Talman, Gretsch 2220, and of course Höfner Violin.
Ibanez talman tmb 100

What is the back of the fret board. Not even a real part description..
Is this a good bass for a cheap intermediate bass player? I've been playing for 3 and a half years.
Sure is! A short scale bass is handy for beginners to masters! Easier to move to the gigs!
Yes
I love my bronco and have been playing for a while. I have a 500 dollar Fullerton and I prefer my bronco
@@samsmelser_ I bought a $300 5 string Ibby instead after trying both out. I want to eventually get a Bronco though, the portability is something I need, being a high school bass player with not a lot of space.
Why didn't you use a bass player instead of this? 😕
Sweet bass, awesome review. 4 real tho I think Nelson found the peen
thank you. Miss the pick
picks are illegal
no
Real bass player please
Please, play real bass lines as you demo the instrument.
Here it sounds like a guitarist planning its solo on a bass.
Exactly
Expecially? ;)
Is that just a single coil pickup?
It's literally just a cheap Stratocaster pickup they put a cover on
I can confirm this but it sounds great for a cheap pickup and bass!
Wesley Zimmerman damn and for £179 that’s amazing!
The only thing I don't like is the bridge my friend from band class has one of these and I like it better then my Ibanez mikro because it sounds good and stays in tune way better it's so much better the only thing
Sounds so good compared to mine. mine has no low end if you check out my vid which you prob won’t that’s a fender precision
Mine has too much low end, I guess it just depends on the amp
Baby Yoda I suppose. I’m using a peavey minx 110 cuz that’s all I got
Scooting 902 oh ok, I use like a fender rumble or something like that but maybe I just need to turn up the treble. For u try lowering the treble and raising the bass. Just don’t turn the treble/tone knob all the way up
Always best to adjust your amps low end based on the room you’re in, makes a world of difference!
Is this a jazz bass or precision bass?
It is a Bronco. it is its own thing,
It could be compared to a P-Bass in appearence but a has a strat pickup in the neck position.
Broncos are based on Mustangs
149 dollar bass not 199
Its 199 can$
@@matystig8580 yep and 149 usd.......great bass no matter what the price
ALWAYS CHECK STRING SPACING AT THE BRIDGE END....i got cheated. in india you cant return /(-_-))
To je homest this bass is really bad after 2 years of playing at home
Why is it bad? Might just need a set-up!
Upgrade the tuners. I heard it's crappy
I dont remember watching this
maybe you didnt
That profile picture is perfect for this comment 😂

how to spot a guitarist playing bass?
atrocious left hand technic 😁
use ur pinky nubi
junk. ibanez tmb-30 or 100 are way better to start.
