PB-20 BK Standard Series : After three months use - Very playable for the price

TLDR: Recommended for someone moving from another instrument. Great quality for the money. Output very low.

The neck quality is spot on here, no issues with frets or neck profile. The bass is very playable and sounds pretty decent. Tuning is easy and stable and intonation was pretty quick to achieve. String action is great after I lowered and intonated.

The only issue I could find with this bass is that the output is very very low. Moving the pickups closer to the strings results in the pickup screws just falling out. There doesn't seem to be a way to fix this as yet. Turning up the input on my audio interface solves the low output, but still..

Overall, for the price of this bass, I am very happy with the quality. I've been playing it now for just over three months and it certainly satisfies my needs at present for home recording. I'd definitely recommend this bass for beginners, and those moving over to bass from another instrument for the first time.
