PB-Shorty BK Standard Series : Nice little Bass

11 years ago

Very inexpensive short scale bass i bought to initially see if i liked the shorter scale.

Well made and well put together. I did have to do some setup work to do but no real problems. The strings i thought were not the best but they do the job and kept in tune.

Surprisingly punchy pickup. Good tone.

The slightly down size body might be good for younger players, or people who just prefer a smaller bass. Although the neck is 42mm its not a very deep profile so has an ok feel. Fairly light weight although due to the smaller body it is not as balanced but i had no problems playing it sitting or standing.

Overall very good for the price.
