Bought this for my 12 year old son who is learning and obsessed with guitars. Started with acoustic, went to electric and was wanting a Bass so bad, got this in case the fad wore out. Read other reviews and went ahead to surprise him. He absolutely loves it and it has fuelled his obsession! As a single mum I appreciate the value of this piece and seeing my son do something he loves is a bonus!

The guitar looks great and I am looking forward to learning the bass!

Unbeatable for the price. Just wanted a quality nofrills bass to learn on and was pleasantly surprised by the sound and usability of this bass. I think it will do the job for quite a while.

My Donner Bass Guitar is lovely. It looks and plays great. Beautiful finish, but... The only other thing I would say is that one of the screws holding down the scratch plate on was overtightened in the factory and just spins in its hole. The scratch board is loose there, and vibrates. Otherwise, just a beautiful guitar.

The bass guitar arrived promptly, and very well packaged. When I opened the box I was surprised how well it was packaged, and “wow” what a great looking guitar. The finish and hardware were immaculate. The set up ,balance, and string quality were great,and it sounds like a precision bass, as we tested it against the real deal. Came with good quality gig bag, strap, cable, and Allen keys if adjustment needed any time. I have shown ,and played this bass to many musicians, and they are amazed at the tone ,and quality of this instrument. Well done Donner. I can recommend this very good quality bass to anyone looking to buy one, and not having to pay big dollars. Very happy muso. CJ

I was simply amazed by this bass guitar. I am a beginner bass player but I’ve been around my fair share of guitars and I have to say, you cannot go wrong! To start, the body is solid and heavy. I also could not find a flaw on the finish of my guitar. The frets were great, not sharp at all and no high frets. The tuners are very solid and smooth as well. I was also very impressed the the gig bag. Most guitars at this price range don’t come with a gig bag, let alone one that is very high quality. Overall you can’t go wrong buying this guitar. The guitar sounds and feels great!

absolutely spectacular bass, ignited a fiery love for the instrument I never thought I'd have!

My 14yr old son saved his money to purchase. It arrived on time and he really likes it. It is a great addition to his collection. He really enjoys playing it.
Rick
It’s a great value for money and it’s really nice as a beginner to get one that comes with a lot of essentials (ie. the bag). It’s thickness is pretty nice, same with the sheerness. Overall a good purchase.
carty
This thing is amazing. I have been playing bass for many years, and this thing is like an expensive thing. The quality of musical instruments is amazing. Will definitely buy another one in the future.
Green
For the price it is very good for a beginner. It doesn't have all the knobs of a professional, but it doesn't need it. If you only care about volume and tone or are a beginner I would recommend.
Johnson
I *love* this bass to pieces. I ordered something else to learn on and while okay to get started, it was nothing I felt comfortable gigging with. THIS is the bass I should have ordered the first time. Learn on it, play gigs with it, it’s made for both. Fantastic value!
Feliciano
I ordered it for my 14 year granddaughter because that's what she chose for birthday present from me. When it arrived, she was excited when she opened it. It was just like as pictured. She loved it.

My niece love this bass. It work great and easy to carry. Love the fast delivery and will order again if needed.
Medbery
My daughter loves her bass guitar! She’s been teaching herself to play it. She says it’s easy to use and fits perfectly to her body.
Daniel
I liked the price range for the bass.Everything else is really great, and I really enjoying it.
Lisa
We had a bass player who has an expensive bass help my son set up this one. He was impressed that we had payed so little for good quality. We have 2 other Donner instruments and have been very happy with the quality.
VB
I bought this bass for myself to find out if I would enjoy playing bass (I already play guitar, violin mandolin, and a hole bunch of other string instruments). The Donner looks great, good materials and workmanship, feels good, and sounds good when I play it through the little Donner practice amp that I bought with it. I had several bass players stop by for our jam sessions, and they couldn't believe that I got so much value for a very reasonable price. Honestly, at my current skill level I would not know the difference to an instrument that costs 2-10x as much as the Donner bass.
Ilostmysanity
I like the bass overall. The bass itself was set up pretty well and was playable straight out of the box. The sound is pretty decent given the price point. Even the instrument cable that came with it feels and looks decent quality. I would have loved to have an instrument like this when I was starting out.

I’ve been a bassist for 30 years and of course one of my kids wanted to give it a go. I didn’t want to spend to much because anyone that has kids knows that one day they about one thing and two days later, they are all about something else. I also didn’t want to get her something that would constantly need to be tuned or have the neck adjusted. After reading some reviews I gave this bass a chance and so far it been perfect for her. It looks good, plays well, was inexpensive, and that’s exactly what I was looking for.
Trapp
This has got the be the best value for your money. Sounds amazing with a good amp. I’d easily compare this to a fender bass any day! If you’re thinking about stop thinking and buy it!
Julien
Not expensive, good quality, but the strings are a bit steep, but it’s really good to start playing! A good grip is a bit heavy, but we quickly got used to it!
Busker909
I bought this as a backup for my expensive "Brand Name" bass. It arrived the next day perfectly set up and still in tune! Very low action but no buzzes with bang on intonation. Straight neck with ebony fretboard which is a nice touch.
phil
Awesome bass! Doesn’t get better at this price point!
Kiernan
A good all-rounder

When you fancy learning a new instrument you tend to go for a cheap and cheerful option so you don't overspend only to find out it's not for you. Problem with that is that you'll end up with an instrument so bad that you will deffinetely hate it and never look at it again. I bit the bullet trying this cheap Donner as I had great value stuff from there before. Turns out it was the right choice!
Features:
- Built like a tank, no flimsiness, looks absolutely gorgeous in Sunburst. Mine has a couple of small knots for character. I like seeing a nice honest piece of wood in my instruments.
- Tuning pegs are solid, no pitch loss. These are high quality, no compromise
- Nice cut nut, no tagging there, strings slide smoothly
- Speaking of strings, they do the job, but you will probably want to put your favourites on
- Sounds great and plays great once you adjust the truss to your liking. For a guitarrist (manly) like myself, a nice low soft action is very important before growing some strength to handle a bass
- Comes with cable, strap and bag. All you need.

It's my first bass guitar as a beginner and love it. For the price it's a great deal
Schroeder
It cleaned up beautifully.
Shane
It feels great in hand, doesn't neck dive much, and it sounds great right out of the box with a quick tuning.
Matt
I bought this bass for my brother as a birthday gift since he wanted to start playing as a new hobby. I played it for a few days before giving to him, and I was actually very impressed. To my surprise, the action was set spot on, the neck was straight and it played great. I checked the neck with a straight edge and was surprised there was no bow at all. No issues with the pick ups, they sounded and operated great, pretty much what I was expecting, if not better. The tuners seemed solid and well made. It was wrapped up good during shipping and had a lot of padding on it. I would easily compare this to a fender squire beginner bass. I like how this comes with the case, cable and strap. The only minor issue I noticed was the frets weren't perfectly flush with the neck, but that makes no impact to the sound, you can just slightly feel them as you slide your hand up and down the neck.
John M.
Solid Instrument and fast shipping, great for the price, well done.
Nathaniel S.
Beautiful Precision Bass clone... Sunburst is perfect, action needed miner adjustment and intonation needed to be set... But even a Fender Bass would need that as well. This Bass is a gem and I would recommend it to anyone... Bottom line is, "You will Love this Bass"

I purchased the DPB-510S 4 String Bass after watching some reviews about this guitar on YouTube. Everyone who bought, played it seemed to have been impressed with it. That not withstanding, my expectations were somewhat guardedly optimistic. The package was delivered a lot sooner than I expected, with Covid delays and all that. It was wrapped up good for shipping with a lot of padding on it. I like how this comes with a gig bag, cable and strap. The gig bag could use a little more padding, but I have bought other guitars from the big brands that didn’t come with one. I was quite impressed with the finish of the guitar. The first thing I did was slide my fingers along the fret board, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a lot smoother than a much more expensive bass that I purchased a few weeks before. I am really impressed with the flawless finish of the bass, not something I expected at this price range. Amazing!

For those who think you have to pay over $1,000.00 USD for a good bass, this shows you can get a good but cheap, playable bass for a small fraction of the price.
Feels like my Fender American Precision. Was set up very close to ideal. Tuners knobs everything feels tight nothing loose. Neck is straight, action is good, intonation very close. I could gig with this out of the box, no problem. And it sounds really good !!
