I have been impressed with my Purple Dove bass. It has a good sound, and is comfortable to play. For the price, I’d call it a winner.

I am a total novice to guitar playing and thought i would buy a reasonably priced bass to try and learn to play, the guitar was delivered next day by Amazon. The guitar itself looks amazing and feels like very good quality, i am busy using Rocksmith to learn how to play and find this guitar very comfortable to hold and it delivers exactly the sound i am looking for. A good friend who has played guitars for years had a try on it and he said it sounds better than some of his more expensive guitars. Overall i am really pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend this guitar to anyone in my position who is just learning. I could have went and spent a lot more and got a lot less.

What a beautiful guitar. Bought for my sons 21st and he loves it. Beautiful inlays of the doves. Love it!,,,,

I am very impressed with this bass guitar. The finish is impressive and the sound quality is very satisfying. I bought it for my wife to learn on and it is ideal – not too heavy with a comfortable neck and acceptable action (string height). Purple bass with dove inlays – what’s not to love?

Appearance is A+ Beautifully designed and finished in a unique artistic manner. I like that the amp jack is on the side. The bass sound is good on max setting.

I bought this for my eleven-year-old daughter as her first instrument. She had been receiving bass lessons for a while, so we knew that she was committed to the instrument. I wanted to buy her something that was good quality as having a cheap instrument can, of course, hinder your progress. But at the same time, I didn’t want to spend too much. This bass is magnificent. She thinks it’s cool in the way it looks and it plays​ beautifully and holds it’s tuning very well. We love it!

Just a heads up: I am still a beginner when it comes to playing bass, so I don’t really know all the intricacies and terms when it comes to being a bassist, but my goodness this thing is great!

Right out of the box the bass came with a case, and a few Allen Wrenches, both of which were completely unexpected to me! But when I plugged the bass into my AMP, I noticed a distinct ringing sound when the strings hit the fret-board. Just to be clear, I have never had a new bass before, so this was the first time I had encountered an issue like this. I contacted a friend of mine who specializes in modifying guitars, and he had told me that the strings just needed to be broken in, so I’ve been practicing with it daily.

The pictures don’t do the design justice. The purple lightning against the black body really brings the whole thing together, giving the purple some subtlety gives the bass an over-all feel of professionalism (as it deserves).

If I have one issue that needs to be addressed, it would be that the bass pick-ups seem to be quite a bit quieter than either of my previous bass guitars. It could just be my amp, but I barely needed to set the volume at max when playing with my band. With this bass however, max volume barely cuts it. I’ll probably end up installing more powerful pick-ups, or just invest in a more powerful bass. It’s ultimately a minor gripe, but one that I felt needed to be addressed.

For the price, this bass has thoroughly impressed me. The quality goes far beyond any other basses that were in the same price range, and super happy that I took a risk and had this imported to me. I look forward to doing business with Lindo in the future. 🙂

We’ve now used this guitar for over six months so I feel I can give a fair review of its quality and how it sounds. Initially worried that bass guitars at this price range would be of poor quality (shown most readily by ‘buzzing’ whilst playing) and with parts falling off it, I am so glad that nothing could be further from the truth. This is a well made, sturdy and reliable piece of kit that also sounds amazing, producing a deep and clear tone.

Congratulations to Lindo Guitars for their excellent guitar and the feeling that they care about what their consumers desire in an instrument.

In short, one of our best purchases on Amazon.

I bought this bass guitar for my wife as she wanted it and she read great reviews on it.

It is a stunning looking bass guitar and it sounds really good. My wife loves it and would really recommend it. It is also light as she has played heavier bass guitars, so that is a bonus too.

This Bass is actually so brilliant. I was joining a new band and I knew I needed a new bass but I’m a student and couldn’t pay a whole lot of money. But its actually such a good bass i am so pleased with it I haven’t put it down since I got it. If you are thinking about buying this just go & buy it. I put it off for ages and I wish I hadn’t! 10/10.

Having played the double bass for a number of years and having recently played on a friend’s bass guitar, I decided to take the leap and buy my own. I didn’t want to spend vast amounts of money on a top of the range Fender, but nor did I want to be disappointed by a low-range guitar from one of the big brands. After a bit of research I found the Lindo Purple Dove, and I immediately fell in love with the design.

On arrival I spent a little while setting up the bass (there are all sorts of video tutorials), and in hindsight I will probably go back and have another go now that I know what I want it to sound like, but none of the changes I had to make were extreme, just tweaks to suit my needs. In a good amp it sounds amazing, and to my (albeit untrained) ear, there is nothing in any way worse about this guitar than expensive Fenders that I have played and heard played.

Pros:
Great price
Great sound
Looks amazing
Feels well made

Cons:
The free gig bag is a plus, but it’s very thin so should only be used as a temporary one while you’re waiting for a hard case / padded gig bag to arrive
As with the bag, the cable (while sturdy) will never give you the same quality as a slightly more expensive one, so it’s worth getting another one, but keep it as a spare

My advice:
Lindo seems to be a brand on the rise – the build and sound quality is great and they are on their way to proving that they can play amongst the big boys. If you’re looking for a reasonably priced, attractive and good-sounding bass, look no further.

I am so impressed with my new bass guitar!

Apart from looking cool, it’s really nice and easy to play. As a beginner, I wasn’t really sure which guitar to choose, so I looked at the reviews and this one seemed really good, plus I wanted a purple bass!

Within a short time I was playing songs, the bass is a lot easier than an electric or acoustic guitar, so I really was able to start playing popular tunes within an hour (with the help of online tutorials).

Definitely a GREAT choice and for the price excellent quality! I would recommend this product and with prime it came the next day – on the weekend! So happy with this purchase.

I’ve just started tinkering around on the bass after years of playing acoustic. I didn’t think I’d be particularly ambitious and just wanted something to add an extra layer of interest to my home recorded songs and thought I’d be happy picking out simple bass lines. Received my Lindo and have absolutely got addicted. I LOVE it. To my ears it sounds great through my little Ampeg amp. The intonation is spot on, I tinkered with the action a bit but it was almost right straight from the box and it looks terrific. Who new….a whole new world. Great!

After learning guitar for a while I decided to make the jump to bass, and opted for this one as other reviews said it was a good choice for beginners. It arrived yesterday & I’m absolutely delighted with it. It’s light & very comfortable to hold, and it has a really distinctive look. It also sounds great, and has held its tune despite me playing it every chance I get.

I’m very impressed with this bass the sound is amazing for the price it also holds tuning really well . The paint job is great although it is prone to show finger prints. All together a great all round bass for beginners.

Great sound, great to hold and to play.

As my first bass (but not my first string instrument) this was a very good buy. It looks sexy, purple gives it a good touch. It’s almost perfect. I don’t know if it’s just mine but when I play the 12th fret on the a string it’s very buzzy and I have to add a lot more force to get a good sond. Maybe it’s just my bass, or maybe it’s the strings. You get a fairly standard case for your bass as well and a free set of replacement strings as well. Very good first bass. I’ve used it non-stop for a month in my band and church so it’s my new best friend. Would recommend.

for the price…. It sounds fantastic and looks even better. I’ve played gigs etc lots of times and would have no problem using this on stage. havent even changed the strings yet! (I’ll put on some when these dull I guess) and i’m sure it’ll sound even better.

Brilliant bass, arrived quickly and in perfect condition. The shape of the body and the light weight of it make it very comfortable for playing for extended periods of time. Sounds amazing and looks the part. Couldn’t be happier with the guitar or the service from this company.

Delivery was really fast. Bass sounds good and looks even better then on the pictures!

Bought for my 12 year old daughter’s birthday. Great looking Bass with excellent low action and sound. Not too heavy either – which is great for her. She’s a picky little customer with strong views on style and she loved it straight away and hasn’t stopped playing since. Hope she doesn’t neglect her regular guitar practice.

Received this bass this morning and have just been putting it through its paces. I purchased the Lindo Jazz bass in March, and although I’m very pleased with it the Dove Bass far, far surpasses it!! The Dove is beautiful to look at, ‘typically female!!!’. For me it is the best bass guitar I have ever played. I’m wheelchair bound, but play sitting on the sofa with my legs on the wheelchair. Weight-wise the dove is well balanced, not neck heavy or body heavy. It tuned within seconds. The sound quality is excellent.

Thank you ‘Captain Cowchucker’ for your review, I found it very helpful. I do agree with the cable jack socket being at the bottom of the guitar is a pain. Like you I use the Vox amp. I haven’t tried the latter yet, just gone through the main amp. I put the dove through its paces to ‘Candy’, lovely!! Thanks Lindo!

I didn’t plan to learn the bass; it was more a matter of necessity. I am a member of a jamming group and unfortunately there were far too many lead guitarists. Rather than persist with my much loved Fender Stratocaster I decided to undertake a new challenge. (I make it sound so noble, don’t I? It was more of a case of ‘Oh alright, I’ll play bass’.) Initially I borrowed a Fender Precision bass to see if I could get on with the instrument. To my unexpected joy I found it almost easy and certainly more instantly satisfying and gratifying than playing the guitar. Perhaps I am more a natural bassist than guitarist.

I quickly realised that I needed my own instrument so on the spur of the moment I bought the Lindo PDB, thinking I would upgrade if I decided to stick with the bass. It is a nice colour (I like purple, okay?), distinctive (almost unusual?) looking and I liked the idea of a gigging bass – something lightweight, certainly less heavy than the dreadnought I had been playing. I did wonder whether I had made a mistake by buying an instrument without trying it first (foolish, I know). In the end it didn’t matter; for its price the Lindo PDB was worth every penny.

Pros:
1) It is a full sized instrument, yet it feels and handles like a guitar. It weighs about 3kg – about the same as my Fender Stratocaster. This makes it light enough to play for extended periods without causing backache. I would still recommend buying a decent padded strap though, for extra comfort.
2) When played clean it has a lovely rich sound, especially now that the strings have lost their initial metallic buzziness. The provided strings are possibly a bit light for the experienced player and they certainly won’t provide those deep, fuzzy distorted bass sounds required for metal and hard rock. With the right strings and effects pedal these sounds are possible. Admittedly the distorted sounds are not as convincing or full bodied as those from the Fender Precision but they are certainly acceptable.
3) I’m more a ‘deep guitarist’ than a bassist; I echo the riff, improvise around the root, counterpoint the melody and so on. I needed an instrument that would allow me to do this. The string action on the Lindo PDB is so comfortable that I occasionally forget I’m playing the bass. It is therefore ideal for erstwhile guitarists like myself. It is a good beginner’s bass.
4) When played through a decent amp it sounds much, much better than you would expect for a sub-£200 bass. It also sounds pretty good when played through headphones via a Vox Amplug or a multi-effects unit.

Cons:
1) Whoever decided to put the cable connection on the bottom of the instrument needs a stern talking to. You need to lift the instrument up to find it. Also, when using a Vox Amplug it is too easy to accidentally knock out the headphone cable or the 3.5mm jack cable to the MP3 player. Playing with the instrument sitting down is a little awkward since the cable connection is in the way.
2) You’ll either love the doves on the fretboard or hate them.
3) The finish on the fret edges isn’t as smooth as I would like. Not exactly sharp but perhaps a bit too angular for comfort.
4) The finish on the back of the neck isn’t as polished as I would like either.
5) It can sound a bit muddy above the twelfth fret when played clean, especially on the D and A strings.
6) The string action was a little high for me initially. This is adjustable using the provided Allen key.
7) There is still a slight buzziness when palm muting the bottom two strings. I am not sure if this the bass, the strings, my relative inexperience or a combination of all three. This isn’t enough to ruin the general sound of the instrument.

At the moment I’m not interested in popping or slapping, so I can’t comment on the instrument’s suitability for these techniques.

Conclusion

I would recommend this instrument to anyone thinking of trying the bass, or someone needing a backup instrument for gigging. You certainly get value for money and it provides an enjoyable playing experience.

I spend half my time living in Greece now and did not want to take my main guitar, a Dean special, backwards and forwards with me but I needed something to practice with. I must say I was not expecting much at the sort of price I wanted to pay but something was OK for I what I needed. I looked around Amazon and found this bass. I was initially surprised that it would be delivered to Greece and with only £8 or so P&P. More surprises to come when it arrived though.

This guitar is wonderful value for money. It plays beautifully and the sound is rich and crisp with no extraneous noises to sort out. The action is good across the whole length of the fret board and after a couple of days to let the string settle down, I am now enjoying every minute I play with it.

It looks good and I will miss it greatly when I go back to the UK at the end of the month but lovely to know it will be here when I get back.

All I wanted was a decent entry level bass to give it a go. Let’s be honest, I know nothing about guitars other than I have wanted to play bass guitar for years. So I’m not the person to ask about the ‘action’ on this guitar as I have no idea what that means (if it means anything at all).

However, I DO know that this guitar looks lovely (the colour is a very ‘deep purple’) and sounds great.

Having no idea how to play I bought a copy of Rocksmith for my PC and am learning to play with that. While I am unlikely to be on stage at Wembley this year, I am enjoying it VERY much!

If you have always wanted to play give it a go – and this bass from Lindo will do you just fine.

I bought this bass to teach myself on and it is perfect for me. It has a small frame which makes it easier to play and its a great colour too!
I would recommend this to first time bassists!

I came across Lindo while I was looking for a top quality first Bass guitar to purchase, and the PDB caught my eye instantly with it’s stunning looks. After reading the reviews both on Amazon and several forums I was blown away and took the dive.

I’m very happy to say that it was a very wise move! The PDB is nothing short of amazing, from the second you open the box.
The Bass looks absolutely beautiful, and as a Heavy Metal musician, it will also look incredible onstage!
It’s very nice and relatively lightweight, making it extremely comfortable when both sitting or standing, and also great for carrying around without discomfort.

The action on the fretboard is tremendous, with the strings being neither too close nor too far away, so from the get go you can just start playing away. The machine heads also hold tuning very well, which is even more reassuring as I play tuned one step down, which I thought may affect their performance, but it’s not an issue at all!

As for the tone, there’s a great amount of versatility available, from deep low tones to the “Korn Bass”, that distinct clicky style, as well as everything in between. I’d more than happily take this bass to perform any style of music, from Smooth Jazz to Scandinavian Black Metal!

I am blown away by how top quality this product is for the price it is! I have played guitar for 10 years, and I have experimented with many basses over that time, but I am very proud to say the first bass I have bought is a Lindo PDB, and I absolutely love it!

It looks really good, fast shipping and no problems with the bass or anything. It sounds as I expected a bass to, although I’m still a novice.
Would recommend, given that it’s so cheap but looks awesome and sounds good. It’s nice to play, though I have small hands and short arms so it’s a bit of a stretch to reach the first frets. But a lovely instrument.

Came on time with no scratches or missing parts. The volume control knob was a little loose and required fixing. Other than that a great product.

My son’s usual gigging bass broke, he needed a spare for a gig which was planned that weekend, I ordered this on Wednesday and it arrived in time for the gig. A good stand by bass.

This being the second Bass I’ve bought in the past few years, this model has maintained it’s quality a lot better than my last, after a fair amount of playing the strings are still sounding nice and keeping in tune over longer periods than I expected. Nothing to complain about so far, sounds great through an amp and the body has managed to stay looking brand new even after a couple months and a few accidental knocks here and there. The packaging it came in kept the guitar from getting damaged in the post and I think the manufacturer took some time to make sure that the guitar was of a high standard and they paid close attention to detail.
