Palatino VE-550 Electric Upright Bass, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think this is a great bass for beginners to learn on.I wouldn't suggest using it in a band.There are a few things you need to adjust.I had to put a piece of styrofoam at the bottom (below the bridge) to prevent the G string from vibrating to much.You also need to sand down the piece of wood where the strings meet to the board.Its a little too high and it makes you press harder than you really need to.I chose this one to practice because its inexpensive compared to others and later down the road, if I'm still doing it, I'll be looking into getting a higher quality one which costs in the thousands.

Dean Upright Fretless Pace Bass, Classic Black, with Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I couldn't be happier with the Pace Upright.I received it as a Christmas gift after having been interested in it for some time.It is, as others on various forms have written, a great bridge between modern electric basses and standard uprights.Having been playing fretless nearly exclusively for a couple years, the note-finding was very easy and the playability is easy and smooth.The sound isn't a standard fretless sound, nor is it distinctly an upright sound, but a good melding of the two into a very unique instrument.The piezo pickup is lively and strong, the tuning pegs/keys are solid and it holds tune extremely well.No tone control, but any eq'ing you need is easily done at the amplifier level - plenty of room to work with as far as the bass signal.The stand is much sturdier than I had anticipated as well, very well-done as far as construction and it is very solid.The only complaint is possibly that it is a bridge and bowing is not really an option, but even having said that I couldn't be happier with this instrument and the new sounds/feels it has added to my arsenal.
