In a previous paper, the author introduced the concept of a nice basis of a primary Abelian group. Namely, an Abelian \(p\)-group \(A\) is called a group with a nice basis if it can be represented as \(A=\bigcup_{n<\omega}A_n\), \(A_n\subseteq A_{n+1}\leq A\) and, for every \(n\geq 0\), \(A_n\) is a nice direct sum of cyclic groups in \(A\). Besides, if each \(A_n\) is a bounded group, then \(A\) is said to be a group with a bounded nice basis. In the present paper the author examines some Abelian \(p\)-groups with a nice basis and proves some properties of these groups. The main result of the article is the following Theorem 2.1. ``Suppose \(A\) is a group with a subgroup \(G\) such that \(A/G\) is bounded. Then \(A\) has a (bounded) nice basis if and only if \(G\) has a (bounded) nice basis.'' However, we note that it is not quite clear what meaning the concept a nice basis can have for the theory of Abelian groups.
