PB-Shorty BK Standard Series : Remarkably good at the price.

10 years ago

This is a scaled-down copy of a classic Fender bass. OK, it isn't of classic Fender quality, but is certainly equal to some of their budget models (e.g. Squier) which I've tried in the past, and at a much lower price.

After spending a couple of hours adjusting the truss rod and saddles to get the action and intonation right, it's playability compares favourably with a Fender Mustang bass I once borrowed for a few weeks.

The tone was very acceptable as delivered. Recently changing the strings to a set of D'Addario EXL220S has resulted in noticeably increased volume through the amp, together with more flexibility in tone.

Very pleased with my purchase.
