Fantastic bass, especially at this price
I bought this bass as a backup for my Fender Mustang for when I'm travelling and so that I can have roundwounds on one and flats on the other. Coming from the Mustang, the Bronco feels very familiar, lightweight and comfortable.
The finish is all good, the frets silky smooth. The action on mine needed a significant set up to loosen the truss rod and lower the saddles. So a beginner bassist should definitely look up a tutorial on setting up their bass (and perhaps purchase a specialised ruler) otherwise the high action will put them at a disadvantage.
After reading some reviews, I'd expected to want to replace the pickup, but I very much like the stock one. It is lower output compared to my Mustang, but having swapped the strings for Chromes (which tend to be higher output) it sounds nice and punchy with a bit of grit. Just how I like it. The single-coil hum is barely noticeable in my studio, certainly not while playing; I've yet to try it out under stage lighting.

Great for beginners/second bass
Looks lovely, plays nice enough, sound is decent considering just the single pick up. I bought this as a back up bass as a lot lighter than my full scale Jazz. Very pleased.

Bargain!
Bought as a gift for my girlfriend, I have taken the liberty of giving it a go. As far as a budget bass goes this is really exceptional, find the intonation on the ‘G’ string can be a little bit out of tune sometimes at the higher frets, but for a starter bass the tone, feel and overall look is impressive given the price.

This Bronco bucks
this thing is so fun, light but sturdy, epic white and sounds awesome DI , on an amp and with pedals you can be who you want to be, the neck is smooth as butter and the all tone spectrums of these pick ups are good , this for a bargain , you can upgrade it if you want but for an beginning or even experiences bass player , this is a must have if you like Bronco's
