Review: Great bass, incredible at this price - CNC machines do a great job making super consistent parts, so if you know how to give an instrument a setup, you can get a great piece for crazy cheap. After re-stringing this with some DR DDTs - I gave this a little action, intonation, and truss adjustment. All without issue. It plays really well, with solidly low action on all strings. I'm mostly in drop A so there's a bit of looseness in the 5th string, but it's got good clarity. THE GOOD: 33"-35" multi-scale is comfy and gives a little more oomph to the low B. More piano-like clarity, but not overly stiff either. the price! crazy cheap. Electronics are solid, preamp is decent. Pickups are better than expected. I had planned on upgrading, but I'm happy with them for now. P2 size is common enough to find some options. Neck is nearly flawless! Very comfortable, smooth. Great fretwork, smoothed out and no sprout, no edges. 18mm string spacing (ish?) is a nice compromise for a 5. Wide, but not overly so. Finish is good, not like 100% perfect, but instruments should get beat up anyway. Nuts at the top of the lock nicely. THE OK: The strings it comes with are bad, buy new strings. You should know that already. The fretboard needed some mineral oil / lemon oil. Can't hang it on the wall with a standard guitar hanger. THE BAD: THE TUNERS. Oh my god, I don't know why, but some of them just. don't. move. I had to use a channel lock wrench to turn some of them. They all hold a tune fine once they're set, but they take some work to get there. OVERALL : I got this for a rock / metal project, and it's going to do just what I need it to do. For about $300 (bass + new strings), an hour of setup, I'm thrilled. With another $300-400 of parts, this would be a top tier bass. With just new strings, it's great! EDIT : I got some Nordstrand fat singles for this thing, it is incredibly huge sounding now.
Review: Un-tunable bass - My bass was untunable, so i couldnt even have fun with it. The tuner kept screwimg in butter and didnt tune the bass. One of the tuner always lost tension, so it is a unplayable bass unfortunately. I am trying to make a refund, but it is taking me too much time and they wont give me compensation for the time i lost…

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent value on a 5-string multi-scale fan-fret headless bass! Great mod platform!
*by Z***9 on 12 July 2025*

IYV does it again! An Ibanez EHB model or a custom Keisel will cost you upwards of a grand, even used, up to several times that much. This IYV bass is a much more affordable way to explore multi-scale / fan-fret 5-string headless bass first-hand. The price-point makes it a great candidate for upgrades & mods, too. I installed an EMG BTS 2-band preamp and a 3-way mini-toggle for series/parallel/single-coil mode on the neck pickup, leaving the bridge pickup as a full-time humbucker. I wanted more tonal flexibility on the neck pickup as I tend to play Geezer-style right at the end of the fretboard. It has a push/pull on the Vol to bypass the preamp for passive mode as well. I honestly can't remember if that was stock or if I installed it... I do a lot of mods. The fret edges are smooth and no issues with loose or high frets. The bridge works fine and holds tune well. The finish is matte and looks great. It plays fast & fluid and sounds awesome! No complaints here. Highly recommended! I've also owned the Metallic Blue non-multiscale version. It's an excellent alternative if you're not down with slanted frets. An added bonus is that this bass will fit in most regular guitar gigbags, making it much less expensive to have a decently protective case for it vs full-sized bass-specific offerings.
