So, a PBG box turned up yesterday. I thought "it's only a bass, I'll look at it tomorrow…". I was expecting what was listed on the web page (after Adam used his usual mind tricks to get me to buy another kit): a SGB-30 basswood body, 30.5" scale, 20 fret short scale bass.
What was in the box was a little unexpected.
hmm… that looks a little dark for basswood.
Make that a one piece mahogany body! Yep, one piece.
And, let's make that 22 frets instead of 20. The scale measures in at 761mm, so 30" rather than the 30.5" listed.
