PB-20 BK Standard Series : Good with some work/fun project.

1 year ago

Mine came with broken saddles and sharp fret ends, but somehow felt good to play. Changed the saddles for brass ones, filed down fret ends and rounded them and fretboard edges slightly, reseated a slightly lifted fret, shielded the electronics, made and installed a half degree 1mm shim, added a string tree that also held down the A string, changed the strings and gave it a setup. It's now a quiet and comfortable bass, that was fun to work on. Budget instruments have really come a long way! I used the strings that came with the bass through all the modifications, and thought they where decent enough.
