PB-20LH SBK : Great entry level instrument.

At this price point, your expectations should be set to the very minimum. That being said, this bass was great at exceeding my expectations. It came already set up and ready to go. No sharp frets or buzz, even after I almost bottomed out the saddles (I like my action low). The pickups are a little noisy with overdrive or if its too loud, however in a practice setting with a mid volume setting, the noise is unheard of. If you do want to play with overdrive or other distortion pedals I do recommend shielding the bass first to reduce the noise. It has one pickup, one volume knob, and one tone knob so you wont be getting the same versatility as 2 pickups. Regardless, its still a very nice sounding bass for the price point. My only complaint is neck dive. Not a deal breaker since its understandable due to the light body.
