PB-50 SB Vintage Series : A bargain, even post Brexit ;-)

10 years ago

I would happily pay more for a bass of this quality, it's genuinely worth twice as much. The pickup and strings alone would set you back about £70 if bought apart from the bass.

It really looks the part, I've wanted an 'old-style' P-Bass since forever and this doesn't disappoint (although I have ditched the huge plastic pickguard, it just looks nicer without it).

I will re-string it with flatwounds but the supplied D'Addarios are well worth having (I just prefer flats is all).

I took it out and gigged it the day after it arrived, it played perfectly, did the job, stayed in tune, sounded great. Couldn't be happier with it.

Just a shame that recent current events have de-valued the pound, adding about a tenner to the price of this bass since June 24th.

Still worth every penny though.
