PB-50 SB Vintage Series : VERY IMPRESSED!!!!

9 years ago

I have been looking for a vintage bass for a long time to use in my band Jasper Dan and after I had a really bad experience with another company I decided to research HB. The PB-50 caught my eye. Not only for it's price but satisfaction of all the other owners.

I received my PB-50 only 8 days after the order was placed (Since I stay in South-Africa that's impressive). I was a bit concerned when I saw the state the box was in when receiving the package (probably thanks to customs) but on closer inspection the bass itself was very well protected.

The bass is beautifully build and sounds amazing! The only tiny niggles are that the tone knob was put on a fraction skew (Almost unnoticeable) and the hole for the truss-rod was machined a little rough. Other than that it's perfect.The machine heads keeps tune beautifully, The bridge is exceptionally. Bar one single fret, the neck is exquisitely manufactured. Neck is chunky but very easy to get used to. The bass came set-up near perfectly and thanks to the D'adario strings I could literally just plug it in and play. The finish is stunning and it's very light.

Doesn't matter how professional a musician you are. This is a bass that will hold it's own in any scenario.

This was the best decision I ever made. GET ONE!!!!
