I was sorta hoping my starter bass - the mighty SX 
- would have made the cut in this video, but I guess it’s not exactly a sub-$100 bass, even though it’s still a low-budget instrument. I guess if I have to draw comparisons, it’s probably in the Harley Benton league (although the SX’s tone woods are arguably better, it’s got an alder body + maple & rosewood fingerboard), i.e. mine needed a fret dress and shielding, but it wasn’t terrible out of the box, and with these adjustments it’s been an OK bass to learn on. After all, that’s what counts so early on - one day, I’ll upgrade to something snazzier and appreciate the improvement even more. (Until then, Fender, please release a lefty Oly White P bass that doesn’t cost close to £2,000!
