This is cheap for a bass. What makes it so cheap?

    Hey Austin, entry level instruments will be more affordable than mid-level and higher end instruments.

      Only one question comes in mind - why not make the battery easily accessible like even cheaper instruments all around the world? With a simple little lid? Why do we need to have a screwdriver around whenever we need to replace the battery?

        Hey Foxeh, one reason, durability.  With the exception of the ashtry style battery box on E-II and ESP instruments most other "easy access" battery compartments, ones that flip outwards, break down over time.  The wires within are put under more stress and can be more prone to breaking.
