B-450 White Progressive Serie : Amazing, affordable and accessible active bass

I can't be any happier with this bass. I've played guitar for two years prior to buying this bass and it's such a joy to play.

The neck feels smooth and accessible due to the comfortable cutaways and relatively slim profile and the bass feels comfortable both sitting down and standing up.

The sound of these active pickups surprised me. They are very versatile and provide me with all the sounds i'll need for 99% of my favorite rock and metal songs. Off course there are better sounding basses out there, but definitely not at this pricepoint.

The only reason i'ts not 5/5 for the finish is a buzzing D-string. The nut slot of this string is cut ever so slightly too deep resulting in some fret buzz if i'm attacking the string, mostly when playing metal and punk rock. This is easily solved by fitting a new nut, which are anything but expensive, and i don't see this being a consistent error with these basses. The rest of the bass is finished great for this price.

Overall an amazingly versatile and solid bass, which is accessible enough for beginners and will probably satisfy most experienced players on a budget.
