lefrash Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I know the HB brand gets a lot of love round here and on talkbass so I decided to take a wee punt on this. At under 120 quid it's not exactly a life changing gamble but still a gamble. Got it delivered this morning... straight out the box it is absolutely astounding. Nice lowish action which can go lower if required. No tweaks needed. Can only use it via headphones at the moment however there s absolutely no weird noises or hums. Seems to be enough beef through headphones to suggest this will work nicely live. Got a stand in gig in a few weeks so will be using this for sure. The 15 year old me would have killed for such a good instrument as a 'beginner'. If I had this 19 years ago I reckon I would still be using it to this day! I just can't get it how this very good bass guitar can be shipped to me from China via Germany for the cost of a decent night out! My mind boggles! Everyone...go buy one!

discreet Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 If it weren't for the logo and the headstock shape I think everyone would have one. I've bought three HB basses and a guitar and they've all been astonishing. Not just 'for the price', but by any standards. Unbelievable really.

'Great for the price' can be a bit misleading. If this had fender on the headstock and cost 4 times as much id be none the wiser! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom1946 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I have a brand new one, putting it up for sale this weekend, too heavy for me. Bought it a few months ago and forgot about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
