(More customer reviews)The 30" short scale Fleabass is a pleasant surprise; light weight, great sounding, well-balanced, and extremely easy to play for extended periods. The big surprise is the big, full sound from the single passive humbucker; with very little EQ (and a touch of sub-harmonics), this bass sounds full-sized indeed. The Fleabass is well-detailed, with a massive cast bridge featuring individually adjustable string height and intonation (allen wrench included) and very smooth action tuners. Yes, at this price point, they're copies, but they're pretty good copies.
Where this bass lost that last star was in finish details. The paint, while smooth (no orange peel)was oversprayed; bits of black can be seen around the edges of the white trim pieces. More seriously (but easily correctable), the control cavity comes unsheilded, and the bass is as a result more sensitive to the standard sources of hum (light dimmers, etc.) than most contemporary basses. The first thing I did was line the control cavity with sheet copper, which fixed the issue. As delivered, the bass had medium action and good intonation; I lowered the action without encountering any fret buzz. The round-wound strings supplied are of unknown origin, but play well, stay in tune without much effort, and sound surprisingly good.
In summary, the Fleabass is a very high quality instrument, and a pleasure to play. Highly recommended, especially at Amazon's amazingly low price.

A great bass for beginners starting out, or for those with smaller hands, the Junior Bass is a 30-inch scale, 20-fret bass with a solid alder body. A maple bolt-on neck, rosewood fingerboard, and cutaway for fret access make it super-playable. Quality electronics, hardware, and factory setup mean it'll stay that way.
The Fleabass "If they don't play great, they're not going to the stores. We'll set up every one and make sure it's perfect." --Flea
The Fleabass is made out of Flea's desire to offer musicians an instrument that they can fall in love with. They are affordable, play beautifully, and they will only get better in time. Each instrument is individually set up by Fleabass technicians and is delivered in a high-quality gigbag with a cable.
Choose Your Weapon The Junior Bass is crafted in 4 bright color combinations with a high gloss finish. The colors were chosen and named by Flea: Sunny, Punk, Water, and The Wild One.
The Sunny Junior Bass features an orange finish with yellow pickguard. The Punk Junior Bass is bright green with a pink pickguard. The Water Junior Bass is (you guessed it) blue with an orange pickguard, and The Wild One Junior Bass features the classic black with white pickguard look.
High-Quality Instruments Looks aren't everything. Each Junior Bass was designed for excellent sustain and brilliant, rich tone. Featuring a solid alder body with string-thru-body design, they look clean and sound clean. A custom-designed pickup and quality passive electronics give you strong, punchy lows and a glossy high-end.
The Junior Bass features a 30-inch scale, 20-fret solid maple neck with a smooth rosewood fingerboard. The contoured body at the neck pocket affords easy access for the higher frets.
Add great hardware like the heavy-duty chrome bridge/tailpiece and classic open-gear elephant ear tuning machines, and you've got a simple short-scale bass that simply rocks.
