MB-5 SB Deluxe Series : Utterly fantastic value!

Can't get over how much bass you get for so little money. I can't even buy the blank wood to make one at this price, let alone the parts.

If you're hovering over buying one, just do it.

Just to put it into perspective, I sold a £2500 Yamaha and thought I'd buy this as a stop gap whilst choosing a new bass. I don't think I'll bother now, I'll just keep this and pocket the difference!

Neck is lovely, paint is flawless. Hardware a little cheap looking, but does the job. Could probably upgrade the tuners at some point, but no rush, they seem to hold tune.

Pickup does the job, easy enough to swap out if you fancy something more boutique though.

Perfect for modding too - I've routed the back so I can install a battery box and Stingray preamp. Not that there's anything wrong with the sound as-is, just figured it would make it a little more authentic.
