B-550 QTB Progressive Series : Does what I need it to do!

5 years ago

I'm a bedroom guitarist recording a few tracks and needed a functional, cheap and cheerful 5 string to do some simple bass tracks.

My needs regarding this instrument are very basic; feel ok in my hands, work and not get in the way of what I want to do. In all those aspects it does exactly what I need it to do!

I can't attest to the overall sound quality of this item as I'm very far from a professional and even further from a professional bassist (!) but the levels going in to my DAW via my interface.

Only slight gripe is that the fret edges could have been slightly better dressed and the fretboard was a tiny bit dry but, at this price point, I would really be nit picking to deduct any stars.
