PB-50 SB Vintage Series : Great bass for anyone who wants a vintage tone at a cheap price

This bass is extremely great value for money. Firstly the neck feels very nice and has a nice satin finish which makes it very easy to move around the neck, additionally the neck is quite chunky which is to be expected from a p bass, especially a 51/54 styled bass. However i can see this type of neck being difficult for beginnners due to how thick the neck.

The body is very nice and wasnt super light like i imagined it would be which which helps to keep the whole bass balanced when playing with a strap.

The hardware is very nice all round, the tuners are very stable and the nut is alright, the volume and tone knobs are not bad but nothing special, the pickup has a classic 50s sound with a big booming sound with a punchy tone.

The setup on this bass out of the box was decent, the neck was set up nicely, the action on the strings was quite high which isnt how i like my setup but would be fine for anyone who is starting out and doesnt know how they like their bass yet

For me this bass is perfect, in the future i plan to upgrade pickup to a seymour duncan, some cts pots and a nicer output jack
