Bass:
Chase Elite BC300

Features:
Alder body, Maple neck, Rosewood fingerboard, 24 Frets, 1 Split humbucker, 1 Single pickup, 2 Volume, 1 Tone, Fixed bridge.

Playability:
Was not able to get the action as low as I’d hoped so was a bit disappointed. Even after shimming the neck I got quite a bit of fret buzz. The balance is ok though.

Sound:
I’d say that this bass has an acceptable sound, but lacks any real character. Probably better for heavier styles.

Durability:
Seems pretty durable. Solid parts, and appears to be fairly well made. Nicely finished also.

Comments:
Not bad for a beginner but that’s about it.

Conclusion:
If you are lucky enough to get a good one then you might be ok, but unless you either like a fairly high action or fret buzz, you might be disappointed as I was.
