PB-Shorty BK Standard Series : Bang for buck, but not very good

4 years ago

This is a very cheap bass guitar, so it´s kind of a mixed emotions review. First off, the strings are so crappy it´s unbelievable and has so low output that they are totally not usable and you HAVE TO change them. The neck had a really bad back bow, so had to release the truss rod more than 2 turns to get it in the ball park. I have also lowered the saddle to the max and would like to lower it even more, but it´s not possible as is. The pickups are not great, but they are OK for the price. The frets cuts your hand, so I had to round basically all of them of on the sides. All in all it´s OK, but you would have to know how to setup up a bass/guitar to have any fun with this instrument, as the delivered setup is totally unplayable.
