PB-Shorty BK Standard Series : Great Budget beginner Bass's

I bought three of these for some of my younger students. Right out the box, after quick tune these basses play beautifully. Good tones available for the price. The bodies are a little heavy for younger students while sitting or standing over a long period. Frets ends were very sharp and undressed as new, so much so that I felt it was too dangerous to land over to young students. But after a quick file on each fret top and bottom, everything was good. Having said that I would still highly recommend. Well done to Harley Benton for providing such high grade beginner budget instruments. If HB put a little bit more into quality control, finish fret edges that would be great. Once that was sorted they are beautiful to play and sound good too.
