B-450 White Progressive Serie : A great choice for the price

I really like this instrument. It has some minor quality problems, but at this price point it's absolutely bang for the buck. I really love the sound and the features of this bass.

Pros:

- good playabilty

- clear sound (for me better than HBZ)

- it has push/pull to switch the electronics to active, or passive

- good finishing (cuts are cons)

- for my taste it can sound absolutely beastly (I use with EXL160)

- selected EQ frequencies (bass, treble) are works perfectly with this setup

- the body resonates very well

- high output signal in active mode

- great passive sound

Cons:

- cuts around the pickups, neckjoint and the covers are uneven

- the bridge has slightly misaligned from the center line, and it's conspicuous above the pickups

- the jack socket is not strong enough. I tightened it many times but after around a year I must have to solder the cables

In overall it's a good budget bass, that sounds and looks good. The hardware has good quality for the price. In the future I plan to buy the 5 string version to. I rated to 5 stars because the price/value.
