This was my first HB instrument and I knew they were supposed to be good for the money but any expectations I had were thoroughly exceeded.
Fret work is decent, not perfect of course but levelled nicely and no sharp fret ends.
Fit and finish is excellent. No flaws in the finish, the neck is seated really well in its pocket, very well put together bass.
Hardware is really good. You get brass saddles on the bridge, tuners turn really well and hold tune nicely, pickups sound great, pots are smooth.
The neck is a really pleasant shape and not too thick, very comfortable to play. Oh and it's roasted maple which looks gorgeous.
For the price this bass is an absolute monster and punches well above it's weight.
