Pretty much the same as "Elise", the Pacifica Guitar. It can be for both beginners and pro's alike!
"Blitzy", the first electric instrument that I had ever bought since last year.
She's pretty awesome to play some songs with. The sound quality is great, as long as you'd refresh her strings, polish her, and replace a new battery. It's quite heavier than "Elise". Again, she's compatible for beginners, amatuer players, or professional bassists. Any genre can be fit for her. Rock, Pop, Jazz, just anything!
There are some bass models that can be more expensive than "Blitzy" depending on the quality, and design of the model, as she was around QR 200-300 (or $82 US Dollars) when I first bought her.
