I ordered this instrument with a standard expectation of HB products - price/quality, and I won again. Feels good, plays good, sounds good. At this price it is comparable with 100-150 euros more expensive instruments, the fretboard looks a bit cheap, however I understand at this price it can not be the best wood. Pickups do a good job, no characteristic sound, but good anyway - again look at this amazing price tag! More of a P bass than J bass to me. Great for begginer, good as a backup or broadening instrument skills.
