(More customer reviews)Behringer Vintager Electric Guitar Package
You can usually find this product cheaper than the listed [...] price if you look around online. That being said, this kit is great for the price. Sure the guitar isn't the greatest, but the amp alone usually retails for nearly the price you can find this whole kit online. I already owned a guitar and just wanted a real tube amp, so I bought this package since I was essentially getting the guitar and accessories as a freebie. If you go into it with that thinking, you'll be very happy with your purchase. I wouldn't recommend the guitar as a primary instrument, however, unless you are just starting out on guitar. It's a fine beginner type guitar.

Epiphone EB-0 Short-Scale Bass Performance Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A Bass problem Solved.
Many basses Particularly the Epiphone Eb-0 and Gibson EB basses.. But other basses also can have this problem especially short scaled ones. The problem is when the cotton or metal windings are resting over the bridge saddle. I have searched extensively over the internet and found no easy solution that would not require machine tooling and hard to find parts. What you need is a spacer that will go down the strings...and will stop at the Ball / Ring end. I came up with a very easy fix that anyone can do.. All you need are Steel 8-32 Nut's. The Type a screw goes into. The Size is based in USA.. So foreign sized may be different.. If so just bring you "E" string to you hardware store and try out different sizes until you land one that fits as I initially did. I found I only needed one or 2 nut's and that moved back the windings so only the string part rested on the Saddle. The mount of nut's needed may vary depending on the type of strings so just in case buy 5 nut per string and your covered. They cost less than 10 cents each. As a result intonation was perfect and the action and tonal qualities sounded correct and made a huge difference in the overall sound as a big Improvement.
If using an Epiphone EB0 bass I spoke with Epiphone to find out the Gauge strings the Bass was designed and setup for: They told me to use: E: .105 A: .080 D: .065 G: .045 .
If buying a new Epiphone please trust me one this.. Change the strings!!! I could not find and exact match but the closest I found in gauge were all the same except for the A string being .085 in a set of Ernie Ball Hybrid slinky roundwounds - which worked perfectly.. The intonation did not go off on the A string.
Hope this Helps as an easy fix that will make your bass sound vastly improved. Remember the cotton or cloth or metal winding should never rest or touch the saddle.. And should always be well behind it. This fix is cheap and an easy fix!!
Hope this helps!

First Act 222 Designer Electric Guitar Pack - White (AL222) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me first start by saying I previously owned a $500 Harmony guitar, which was a beautifully designed guitar with great style and sound.
With that in mind, I was looking for an affordable way for me to get back into guitar playing and casually recording, after about 7 years of not playing. I was hesitant to purchase a "cheapy guitar," as I've been quite snobby about the $500 and up brands, but I have a family now and I am in a limited income to afford such splurges.
This guitar easily blew me away. This is not a cheap imitation of a Fender or a Gibson. It has a very distinctive tone, which I am amazed at. For this price, you won't beat the quality of guitar you're getting. I can't lie and say it holds a candle to the expensive brands, but I can say this guitar is a dark horse in the competitive guitar market, and it has a quality and sound unequaled by other beginning guitars. It has an absolutely brilliant and bright tone. I am pleasantly surprised, and I look forward to playing this guitar for some time to come.
As far as the cons? The guitar itself is very hardy, and sounds wonderful. However, the amp leaves much to be desired. With the tone and gain turned all the way down, the sound is great. However, just one notch either way and it sounds like a malfunctioning loudspeaker at Jack in the Box.
Also, the guitar strap isn't the most comfortable and doesn't latch well to the knobs. This is a cheap replacement, though. The audio cord is very cheaply made, as well, and is quite flimsy. I wouldn't doubt it gets static very soon. It does do it's job, however. I just doubt it will have a long life.
Overall, this is a great guitar, a great value, and I recommend it for the beginner or the casual player, excusing the flaws of it's accessories.

Epiphone Les Paul Special Electric Bass Guitar, Black Satin Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although this bass looks good and although I love the sounds it can produce, I rejected it as a possible bass for me because it is so heavy and unbalanced. While testing one, I found myself spending too much time trying to keep it in a comfortable position for me to play it. When I'm playing, I want to focus on the groove, on hitting the difficult notes perfectly, laying down the riffs, not keeping my instrument in balance and not having to adjust the neck strap because it's cutting off the circulation in my neck. At a lower price, I might overlook these issues, but if I did I would more than likely regret it.
