I have played guitar since 1965 and also bass for much of that time. I wanted a cheap knock-around bass I could take to camps and other outdoor events and said "$63.95, what the heck!" I was very pleasantly surprised.
I ordered the bass late on October 29, and it is not Prime, so shipping was listed as free, but not 2 days. I was told I'd receive it "between Nov. 5 and Nov. 12." I actually received it November 1! Wow. Great shipping.
The bass came packed in a cardboard box with styrofoam reinforcements and arrived in perfect shape. It came with a cheap cable and the Allen wrenches needed for truss rod and and saddle adjustments. The body is a very pretty off-white and the paint is perfect. The bass's body is basswood, and feels a bit light but sustain is good and I'll probably be thankful for the lightness. It does make it a bit neck-heavy though. The bolt-on neck could have used an additional buffing for smoothness, but is certainly no problem to play. Hey, it was less than $65.00. The rosewood fretboard is nice (a little lemon oil brings out the grain) and the frets are smooth with no sharp edges. Nowhere on the outside of the bass is there a serial number or even a country of origin, and there is no brand at all on the Fender-copy head, which I prefer to some hokey off-brand label. I will probably stain the head to give it some color. The tuning machines look substantial and work smoothly. We will see how they last.
The pickguard was protected with plastic film which was a pain to remove around the pots. The pots themselves are smooth to operate, with great gradual change of volume and tone and work quietly (we will see how they last) and the knobs look good but feel a bit light, with less "meat" than a real Fender.
Setup was OK. I'll need to do a little work with the truss rod and saddles to get it perfect, but it's certainly useable right out of the box. Plugged it in and started to play.
The volume is slightly lower than my Washburn at any given amp setting, and the fact that there is only one set of pickups means it's less versatile. That being said, the tone is great. Even set on treble so there is more slap and picking sound, the bottom end is good and strong. It will cut through a mix just fine and, hey, $63.95.
Make no mistake. This is absolutely a beginner's bass. That being said, it is a very good one, and one I'd not feel bad about taking as an emergency fall-back bass on a gig, or to a place where damage was possible. Highly recommend.

A perfectly usable bass for about the price of a good gig bag.
