The only upgrade I intend to make is to add a brass nut.If I wear out the fretboard,I will replace the rosewood with ebony.I get everything Iwant and need out of my LTD,and have money left over for other accessories.
Sound
The B-304 with 24 frets thru the body neck, thru the body strings active EMG w/ onboard high,mid,&bass controls.Looks and sounds great She will slap & pop,drop D tunings-no problem,. To get this same quality for on an American made bass (like my Pedulla) would cost an easy $2000.00 or more. Also lightweight and very user-friendly get it today!!!!!!!
Features
The only improvement I can think of would be an Ebony fret board. Also, shielding around on-board contols. Maybe a flip up for the 9 volt battery.With an amp set flat I can dial in any tone I want from blues to funk to metal.It's my favorite bass,ahead of Carvin Pedulla,Ibanez& Charvel.The B-304 is BEAUTIFUL tone & looks!!
Quality
Quality control is excellent the paint job is beautiful with gold-plated contol knobs,bridge and keys.The neck holds true in hot or cold weather, she will stay in tune all nite long.
Value
For it's price range no bass out there even comes close. I spent 3 days and 8 music stores until I found the B-304,and saved money
