Product Description
The Rogue SX100B 4-String Electric Bass is a great-playing little axe featuring a smaller, lighter body that shoulders everywhere will appreciate. It has a bolt-on, 34"-scale maple neck (4 bolts) with a rosewood fretboard and dot inlays. Thick, durable, high-gloss finish on body, neck, and headstock. Chrome hardware. With split-coil pickup and tone and volume controls. A fine starter instrument with less heft and great playability!Reviews
No. Just...no.(I reviewed this bass already, but Amazon has individual pages for the 3 colors...so my review for the black one doesn't show up on the blue or red pages. So with that in mind, I'll warn everyone just in case they chose this color over the black one.)
Since starting out as a musician, this is the single product that everyone can make fun of, and it's ok. If you say "Rogue Bass" in a group of experienced (4+ months even) musicians, everyone will laugh in unison at the joke you made. In music catalogues, you'll see this with "THE FIRST REAL BASS FOR UNDER [x dollars]". Cross out the "REAL" there and that's what you get. I played this thing back in 2000 and it was just awful. The sound was decent when it wasn't plugged in, but once it was, I felt bad for everyone around me. There's the saying that 'it's not the instrument, it's the one playing it". Well, that doesn't apply here. This is the kind of bass you'd expect to find at a garage sale. The kind that's been beaten to death by a shovel and then the wires were chewed up by a dingo with down's syndrome.
The only redeeming quality about this is that it's probably the single cheapest bass to exist. You're bound to find one better for even ten bucks more. If you're looking at getting a Rogue bass for your son or daughter as a gift, you'll only scar them emotionally and physically for the rest of their life/lives. It's more cheaply made than Joan Rivers' face. I feel bad even reviewing this thing and giving it my time. But I'm here to warn you people, this bass is on the list of "things that make baby Jesus cry". Look elsewhere for a beginner bass. Even Ibanez has a good starter model that constantly gets good feedback.
