B-650 Black Progressive Series : Nice value for the money

I bought this bass as a newbie for the six strings and the quality is not as I expected.... Yeah, it's a cheap bass but the neck actually feels nice and comfortable, thanks also to the small string spacing.

The EQ is nicely made and gives you the opportunity to switch to passive pickups with a Push&Pull pot and the hardware is well made.

Obviously there are also some cons:

- the body shape isn't that "smart", the small horn is really too small and the bass tends to fall off when playing sit;

- I don't really like the double truss rod system in the neck;

- the finish on the neck feels cheap (but it's a very cheap bass, so it doesn't really matter);

- when it arrived at my home, it was unplayable (it needed a huge setup to remove the huge fret buzz), also some nut slots were too low, so I had to remove the nut itself and place a shim under it.

A nice bass if you're entering in the world of the six strings, but I would recommend this only to a newbie such as I am.
