HB-60 WB : Awesome fun bass.

I'm a guitar player and I bought this bass to have at home for fun and to compose some basslines for my band.

I have to admit it's not as great or at least as solid as other basses I've tried, but it's also the first hollow-body bass I've ever played.

I have always loved the looks of hollow-body basses, especially the 335 kind of body. This bass looks gorgeous and its finish is pretty good for its price. It sounds fat, warm and the 3 pickup positions leave many tonal possibilities. It's a cool bass for vintage sounds. It stays in tune nicely and it came well intonated.

So, what's wrong with it to cost around 200 bucks?

Well, the electronics are poor. The pickup selector came loose and failing sometimes. Pots are a bit noisy.

A great fun bass to have around and to try at the studio. I think it may be gig-worthy, but not without a proper set-up and electronics check-up.
