PB-Shorty BK Standard Series : Amazing Quality.

I play in a ukulele band and have been using a Ubass. I decided it was time to go the whole hog and switch to a 'proper' bass.

I tried unsuccessfully to play a full size instrument but being used to the Ubass's short scale it was too much of a jump for me. A friend suggested a short scale bass, so not wanting to waste money I googled cheapest bass guitar.

It arrived a week ago. I have to say the quality of the instrument is amazing, apart from tuning it played straight out of the box.

I've made a couple of changes, I fitted a bone nut and changed the strings to flatwound (my poor amateur fingers suffered with the roundwounds) A slight tweek of the truss rod to lower the action and I also adjusted the intonation.

I'm gigging with it on Friday and believe it or not I'm looking forward to showing off my £75 bass!
