I have the hb vintage series jazz bass ,is it any good ,my honest opinion ,I've had this bass for nearly 12 months now , jumbo frets , natural wood colour looks very nice , pups not to bad a little weak but good enough to do the job in hand , I changed the strings to rotosounds half wounds only because that what I prefer ,I've used it at a few gigs with my band it's never missed a beat ,electrics are fine no crackling pots no sharp frets , for the money they are pretty good ,necks plays quit nice ,I was going to change the pups in mine but never bothered I still take it to gigs as my back up bass and use at home , I've moved onto short scale fender now ,only downside is it's heavy after a 2hr gig even with a decent leather strap you now you've been playing it ,mine cost about £110 notes delivered so for the money there ain't nothing too touch this IMHO
