HBZ-2004 Deluxe Series : A beautiful bass.

I bought this as a present for my other half. She's a classically trained cellist and I'm a guitarist, but her secret passion is the bass guitar. She sometimes tinkles on my Crafter bass which I use for recording, so I bought one of these for her birthday last year based on the reviews.

What can I say. It's beautiful! Really. Neck-through body, fantastic craftsmanship (on the copy that I got anyway), straight neck, good setup right out of the box - action and intonation - and even came strung with D'Addarios and it was in tune!

You really can't get a better bass for your money at this price - even from just a features point of view, but the fact that it's such a beautiful looking guitar too is a real bonus.

Really impressed.
