PB-50 FR Vintage Series : Great bass for the money

3 years ago

If you value sound over all else, buy it cos for £99 you aren't getting any better, period. It sounds as good as any Squier P Bass, much of the traditional "P Bass" sound with this but the tone pot fully open or fully closed gives a tad more versatility of sound than a Squier P Bass. Not tried the 50s Classic Vibe that this is closest to though.

Build wise it's solid enough. Fret ends a tad sharp but everything does its job and it stays in tune.

It's a basic bass, but then it's a simple design. Seriously, for the money it's blown it out of the park. A touch better QC and this would easily be worth 5 times the price.
