Scale length, and hands that are still growing · review
A complete bass package built around a 40 W amplifier — four times the wattage bundled with most starter kits — plus a stand, strap, 3 m (10 ft) cable, spare strings and picks.
What it amounts to The kit where the amp is the reason to choose it — 40 W on a first bass is unusual and useful.
Bass starter kits usually pair a decent instrument with an amplifier that cannot reproduce what the instrument plays. Low notes need power, and a 10 W box with a small speaker gives you the click of the string and none of the note.
The MAX GigKit’s 40 W amplifier is the exception, and it is the reason this kit is here. It has adjustable tone controls and a headphone output, so it works both in a room and silently at night.
The bass itself is conventional and full-size: a linden body, a hard maple neck and 21 frets. The listing does not name the pickup configuration, so this page does not either.
The accessories are better chosen than most: a stand — which matters, because an instrument on a stand is played and an instrument in a case is not — a strap, spare strings, picks, and a 3 m (10 ft) cable rather than the short lead that usually comes in the box.

Low notes need far more power to be reproduced at the same perceived volume. A 10 W guitar practice amp is usable; a 10 W bass amp with the same speaker will distort or simply not produce the low end at all.
For nearly all bass repertoire, yes. Frets above the twentieth are rare outside solo playing.
