PB-50 SB Vintage Series : Good at a good price

I bought this with the intention of using it for Rocksmith 2014. I have no experience of bass guitars from before, so I might not be the best person to give my opinions of it.

First of all, I think it looks and feels more expensive than it is. It feels quite heavy and sturdy. I haven't found anything wrong with the build quality or the intonation.

There was, and still is, quite a lot of debris (from packaging, I think) stuck between the body and the surface that is screwed on top of the body which will take some cleaning to get rid off. It doesn't bother me though.

Using it with Rocksmith 2014, I was first a bit disheartened because the game wouldn't recognize that anything was plugged in, even at the highest volume settings on the bass. I was however able to get it to pick up the bass by going into the settings (the RealTone cable acts as a microphone) and turning up the volume from around 17 to 40-50 (more than 50 and it will have too much noise). This process has to be repeated each time I start the game, and it has never been an issue with my Les Paul Jr. so I don't know why it is like that. After that however, it works in the game just fine.
