PB-50 SB Vintage Series : Perfect for the price

Ok, guys, first of all - I'm not a bassist, but I've looked for a cheap precision bass guitar for home studio recording. So, what I need from bass - is just support rhythm of drums and to have deep background. This bass sounds like a Fender Strat for $200-$300, but it's a bit thud (maybe I would change pickup/electric part soon). Now, what I have found very positive and was surprised - it's sustain of this guitar, its nicely long! I think this caused by great quality of wood. Finally, I can simply change strings, electric part and pickup, tune it and have the sound I'm looking for; but the neck and body - they are really great. By the way - it comes with d'Addario strings (I'm also using d'Addario for acoustic and electric guitars because of nice quality). So, if you need cheap, great and working bass - you can buy it without doubts; and I just can advice to tune it well.
