PB-Shorty BK Standard Series : Great bass

12 years ago

I originally bought this for teaching on for pupils, as my own sometimes just smothers the kids and it's really heavy. This arrived and really had to be set up as you could "limbo" dance under the strings. (There was a label in the box saying it had been quality checked??) After adding a shim to the neck pocket and lowering the bridge, the action was a lot lower. Intonation was reset and wow what a lovely instrument. Quite honestly before I would of gave it a 3, maybe 4 stars (taking into account of it's price), but as you can see it's now a 5 on everything. I am very very happy with this now and may even use it on an occasional stand in gig. it is amazing what a 30 min set up/ service can do.
