PJ-4 HTR Deluxe Series : Unbelievable bass for this price.

I took a bass straight out of a box, tuned it, plugged it and played it for 20 minutes without giving her a proper look. It was playable out of the box. Action should be little adjusted (lowered). Only set up I did, I lowered strings on saddle for a half turn and truss rod for a 1/4 of turn. I like the tone. The neck has very enjoyable profile and hand just slides wherever you want your hand to be. And of course she looks gorgeous. What I didn't like is a little neck dive. Any decent strap will correct that, but I have to mention it. Pickups screws are weird to adjust pickup height. Right P-pickup was a third of centimetre too high and I realised that screws were kinda weird but I adjsuted a height without any problems. Tuners feel cheap but the bass stayed in tune since I initially tuned it so no need to get picky. I think this bass proves that there is a difference between “cheap” and “inexpensive or affordable “. It's a GREAT instruments for everybody. Of course, she has few flaws but even 15 time more expensive guitar has some other flaws. I've been playing giutars for 15 years and I'll tell you this is really good bass.I will play her live.
