HB-60 WB : A Great Vintage Style Bass

4 years ago

Came beatifully made and finished! The neck is lovely, to play & quite narrow! Short scale is very comfortable.

Both pick ups sound very nice, with good definition despite its semi hollow body style based on a 50s' Gibbo, EB0/3!

A few caveats however, The frets needed some levelling T tapering, but most new guitars need some! Had it done, has a great action now.

Floating bridge is not the best, with the solid centre block HB should have used a sunk in bridge pinned thru the top into the block!

Apart from that, everything works AS it should!

A great, MUSICAL sounding bass!

Just BE prepared to do some minor work on it, but for such a build style, it punches WELL above its weight!

Recommended!
