Suppose that A is an Abelian p-group. It is proved that if p ! A is bounded, then A has a bounded nice basis and if p ! A is a direct sum of cyclic groups, then A has a nice basis. In particular, all Abelian p-groups of length < !.2 along with all simply presented Abelian p-groups are equipped with bounded nice bases. It is also shown that if length(A) ≤ !.2 and A/p ! A is countable, then A possesses a bounded nice basis as well as if length(A) ≤ !.2 and p ! A is countable, then A possesses a nice basis. Moreover, contrasting with these claims, we demonstrate that if length(A) = !.2 and A/p ! A is torsion-complete with finite Ulm-Kaplansky invariants, then A does not have a bounded nice basis. If in addition p ! A is torsion-complete, then A does not have a nice basis, respectively. Finally, we construct a summable p !+2 -projective group (thus a summable group with a nice basis) which is not a direct sum of countable groups. This answers in negative our question posed in (Atti Sem. Mat. Fis. Univ. Modena e Reggio Emilia, 2005).
