B-550 QTB Progressive Series : Great introduction to 5 string

Came quickly, no damage, set up well.

Plays great, this is my first ever 5 string so cost and quality were great for my venture into this area.

I love the colour, it would definatly benefit if the colour and fade were brighter but on the whole great looking instument.

Sounds good and has some real bite. Switch gear feels nice and is quite accurate.

Plays well frets have no sharp edges. No neck dive which suprised me as the body is quite small.

Would be tempted by another but 4 string or fretless if there were more colour options.

Only downside was a cut finger from the edge of the nut which was razor sharp- resolved with a file.

For the price a great a bass. I wish i could have got quality instruments like this when i was learning the bass 20 years ago. Now Im dipping my toe back into music after a 15 year stop, Im glad i can get something of a great quality without having to save for it
