B-550 White Progressive Series : Feels like good quality for the money. Very pleased

7 years ago

Really pleased with th quality of this bass for the money.

I bought this bass as a guitar player looking for something to add bass on my recordings. Very pleased so far. Bass required a small truss rod adjustment out of the box but then was ready to go. Plays so much better than other chinese manufactured basses i have played and feels like it is worth a lot more than the price you pay.

Happy with the overall sound, looks and finish and play ability. Also quite light and comfortable which is good.

Obviously, you can still tell that this is a budget instrument, mostly from the feel and look of the neck, fret and hardware (tuners, bridge et) which prevents me from giving a 5 star review, although this is based purely on look and feel rather than functionality as everything appears to work well.

Would recommend for anyone needing a bass on a budget.
