HB-60 WB : Looks great but ....

10 years ago

Bass looks great out the box but is let down by cheap parts and poor quality control. Pickups very low output and electrics bit of a mess, crackly pots & floating bridge had screws loose.

Loved the looks of it (as its a dead ringer for Eastwood basses) so rather than send it back I did a complete overhaul - changed pickups, switches, socket and did a proper set up with nice set of flat wounds. Had spares so cost nothing.

As a result it now plays and sounds superb and was well worth the effort.

Is it worth the £? Yes , but you get what pay for...
