Critic Reviews

EKO 995 | Vintage Guitar® magazine

vintageguitar.com

The Eko 995 offers a unique blend of style and sound, appealing to those who seek a vintage vibe on a budget. Its distinct design, reminiscent of the Höfner bass, captures attention, and its short-scale neck is a plus for playability. However, this bass struggles with tonal versatility; it excels with a pick but falls flat when fingerpicked, leading to a lackluster sound. While it's not the most sophisticated instrument out there, the Eko 995 holds a nostalgic charm and decent playability, making it a reasonable choice for beginners or collectors looking for something different.
