HB-60 WB : Not as great as I expected

Looks wise it's a lovely looking Bass, it really has that vintage look I was after but for me that's where it ended.

The pickups were shaky which when played would buzz with the vibrations so I had to tighten them up. The sound wasn't as loud as I would expect but does have a vintage warm sound. I played this through a Fender Rumble amp so when I used the fat Bassman setting I liked the sound. I swapped out the strings for a set of flat wound strings which for me I believe made it sound better.

Cons: The Volume control was loose so I had to tighten them.

The tone control knobs were loose so they had to be tightened also.

The fret wires were sharp, resulting in me having a lot of small cuts on my index finger, but otherwise a nice Bass.

My honest opinion and I am sad to say it. if you have more money to spend on a better bass like a Hagstrom then do that.

If you are prepared to finish the guitar in the way it should have been before it left the factory then do so, otherwise it's a lovely wall ornament.
