    H.B.gives great value.I own almost 30 basses and have played and gigged for decades.I bought the sub $200 RB-414 Fakenbacker.I couldn't believe how much it punched above it's weight class.I threw in two superior pickups and it improved an already great bargain.Still came in at under 400 bucks.I would recommend H.B. to anyone especially beginners looking for that first bass or guitar.They will save $$ and gain a keeper.

  • @johnrenshaw2461
    @johnrenshaw2461 Před rokem +1

    Hi from Spain again! Well they returned my guitar and this time both volume and tone controls for both pickups did not function so I had to return it again for repair. Yesterday three months after I bought it they sent my money back which I told them I did not want, I just wanted an SC-550 II that was as good as all the ones I have seen in their promotional videos like yours. The one I ordered in fairness was a "B" stock, but when it arrived it clearly was new and had never been played, the PAF finish was nothing like the images on their web site, this did not concern me, so I presumed that was why it was classed as "B" stock, they said they could not replace this PAF model so I said I would be happy with any SC-550 II, which they declined. Of course I incurred all the costs of the repair to the graphite nut and travelling costs to my city post office three times, because now they have asked me to return the hard case which I bought specifically to look after the guitar, and it is perfect. I have to question do they send perfect models to reviewers? I particularly like your video, you are an exceptional guitarist,Kind regards,John.

    Well done! Yeah, nice guitar with interesting features and the PUs sounds pretty good, don't know if it's them or only your high skilled usage... My only personal thing is the 42mm nut, I'm more a 43mm liking one (with fingers like "Bratwurst" it's easier for me to fret chords 😄). But to upgrade one of my other guitars with similar PUs, they will cost me quite the same as this guitar, so....
    Thanks for this great review and take care 👋

Subscribing because the playing was both technically impressive but kmore importantly soulful and beautiful. Half the revieweres cam barely play and you wonder why they have 50 guitars and 5 Plexis (god I want a mini Plexi...).
