s travelled to Australia and with our crazy weather from hot to very humid and wet and now approaching colder months - there has been no fret shrinkage or neck movement and thats a great thing. - It has a very punchy and loud sound - so for a passive bass its got enough ‘oomph’ to cut through. - The neck feels good to play - familiar and comfortable is how I would put it. - The fret work is really good and I’m always surprised how little attention some manufacturers pay to fret edges and tangs. This is good. - The balance is well done and is able to be played sitting or standing whilst the overall weight is surprisingly light and takes a bit of getting used to (I initially had an impression that there was not a real bass presence as I'm used to a heavier bass - but that's not a really issue - only an initial impression). - The action is able to be modified to my taste - I started with it quite low and was great and now moved it to my more preferred height.Some areas that I probably would change (note these are my personal preferences, not that it affects the playability of the bass):- The bridge is basic and I prefer a more solid high mass bridge - (I'm not sure if I could have upgraded that at the time of purchase). - I would probably want a mellower tone to suit the styles I play (I've changed to more vintage pick ups and tone caps in previous basses and that's worked for me) - again a personal preference and does not detract from the playabilityThe purchasing experiencing was seamless and easy to follow as well as fun playing with the configuration. And then delivery across the globe - no problem at all!Overall its a great product and a great purchase and I've used it at a number of gigs and full band rehearsals and its does what it should do.[Punch P 34"]

. The pickups sound great, with tons of bite and character, and the build quality feels like a top-shelf Fender for less than the comparable retail cost. Custom build quality and freedom for shelf-retail prices? 10/10, would recommend.[Punch 35"]

bone PJ bass has a tone that is second to none and the smooth playability that only expert craftsmanship can deliver. Above all else, Bite has THE BEST customer service in the biz. All of my questions were answered promptly and updates around my bass' production were received like a kid anxiously awaiting a gift on Christmas day. Bite is revolutionizing the market for custom instruments and I am positive that my first Bite bass will not be my last![Jawbone Reverse PJ 34"]

to dial in my sound and absolutely love playing it, especially with the La Bella flats. It's made quite a visual and sonic impression on my bandmates too and other bassists are surprised at how solid it is because they are expecting a lightweight "toyish" instrument based on the size. Thanks again. It was well worth the wait.[Jawbone JJ 30" short scale]

acoustic blues in the Sacramento Area of Northern California: Chicken & Dumpling (http://www.chickenanddumpling.net/). The bridge pick-up is really phenomenal for alternating patterns. The neck pick-up has the depth and power for great slow blues. I am attaching a photo of me playing her (Bettina) at a gig. I get a lot of compliments on the artwork. All in all, I could not be happier.[Jawbone PJ 34", Clearcoat finish, US-eligible White Flowers body art]

took a BITE. Every time I pick it up it scares me 🙂 It sounds amazing. Every little detail in the sound is very well articulated. Just by changing your playing style - or adjusting with the controls (which actually works throughout) - it's possible to get the tone and expression you want for any genre. And it is a very easily played instrument. Effortlessly, with no strain on your hands, you can get clear harmonics, thumpy lows, growling snaring snaps or loads of slappe-di-plucke-di-slap. Every time I play it other band members, fellow bass players or guests notice the sound and the spot-on balance in the mix. The craftmanship is excellent, and easily exceed what I have experienced on way higher priced brands. No gaps, loose components, rough fits of shortcuts. Just amazing craftmanship and assembly. Even after travelling 1000 km (measured in a straight line) the setup was flawless. On top of that, the dialogue with BITE was top class.[Jawbone JJ 34"]

the neck is easy to fret, while (or because) it has a thicker D shape. Personally I prefer that, because I never fret the notes with my thumb, and that's almost the only reason to have a slimmer shape for me. The bass isn't heavy, its weight is standard/light and the body is smaller than the norm. This, compared to bigger basses like my semihollow bass, give away some support for the right arm, tough is only a really minor incovenience and only when you finger right under the neck (wich is out of fashion but I like). But again, it is only matter of getting accustomated to and is a good trade off for less weight and price.The second most important thing is sound, and output levels: I prefer higher output basses because I always lean towards fingering stronger than I should and this bass has an impressive output, wich really helps me playing lighter. It also helps with effects, like envelope filters, overdrives and flangers. And the sound itself is really defined. I use the bass 99% of the time with the pickup wired in series and the result is dark, yet roaring and really powerful and punchy in the lower/groove register. The higher register really seems like it sings, it amazes me. I want to specify that notes sounded really "full bodied" also in the high register.Regarding durability, everything seems made to last. With appropriate care and handling, I foresee to keep and play this bass for at least the next twenty years without issues, and I really hope so.Regarding aestethics, it is a nice looking bass. I love the colors and the bitten head, woods looks very nice too. I've chosen to have my signature lasered on the body, and that for me it's "that thing" that turns me on. Like it's Elio's bass, and that's it. A signature look and sound.The price was good too. I can't afford very much and this was the chance to have something designed my way (simple things that usually are never put togheter in the same basses) paying less than more famous options that , tough with similar quality, would have been a sort of compromise in terms of features.Would I buy another one? Hell yeah, but mostly a 5-er or a fretless, because this one is so versatile I can do whatever I want with it.My bass is a 4 string Punch model, with black locust fretboard, the wider neck choice with dots, an humbucker in bridge position and a 4 way switch between pickup in series / neck only / parallel / bridge only. The body is caramel and the pickguard is tortoise red, non matching head and the body has my signature lasered on it.[Punch PH 34"]

me a mail announcing dispatch, it came with stunning pictures of my bass, the bass arrived, I unbox it, tune it, plug it and find the sound hard to believe.I play it every day and have not found single flaw, this brand is waaay underrated, could charge 3 times their prices.[Punch 34"]

a single fingerprint on the hardware. I own an Ibanez, Sadowsky, Lakland, and Miller, sold my Fenders years ago. I haven't seen anything liek the Bite level of accuracy and neatness before.I took off the scratchplate and did a continuity test , connected several shield spots and ground joints. The highest reading was 24 ohms, not kohms but ohms! Just what kind of shielding paint you guys apply is beyond me. No wonder there is not the faintest noise to be heard from this bass. The Bite tone itself beats everything that hangs on my wall or was hanging on my wall. This is the one bass that I will run back into the house to save come flood or wildfire. [Jawbone JJ 34"]
