Sound Pure's Take

This PB-57 is an amazing homage to the historic rhythm and blues machines of yore! Straight out of the box, it'll play like your favorite vintage bass after being thoroughly restored to its original consistency and glory. The neck is slick and smooth with just enough meat on it to please even the heaviest-handed players. The Mary Kaye White coupled with the Gold Anodized pick-guard adds a subtle dose of luxury to this working-man's dream. The Lollars live up to their reputation and then some. Plug it in and feel the true meaning of "back-bone". This bass could pull any band together. 

From Nash Guitars

Though the impact of the electric guitar is obvious, the significance of the electric bass is just as influential in the creation of modern popular music. Eschewing the traditional stand up bass in favor of the electric enabled groups to perform in larger venues, to bigger audiences, and was the last step in truly electrifying music. Our PB Models honor the tradition and feel of these trailblazers.

The design of the PB57 is based on the tremendously popular S Model guitars, the influence of which can been seen in the PB57's pickguard, body shape, and headstock. This build features a split coil pickup for hum-canceling and a bigger output. Our PB57 comes in both ash and alder. While Two Tone, Three Tone, and Black are the classic finish choices, this model is available in all of our standard colors. A Gold Anodized pickguard makes for the most traditional look, although 3-ply Black, White, Mint, Tortoise Shell, and Pearl are options as well.
