Hardee HJB 24

Hi guys.
I tried Hardee HJB 24 jazz bass copy in natural finished yesterday.
I think the sound is just like squier standard jazz.
It is Indonesian local brand (Link Removed) and priced about $280.
It has indian cedar/mahogany body with canadian spruce neck & fretboard.
The body wood has bright brown colour with straight grain.
The fretboard & neck has bright yellowish colour with straight & smooth grain.
Do you guys have any experiences with these woods?
How about the tone quality of the woods?
Thanks.
 
wow...no replies?? :confused:

Is the body cedar or mahogany? Is it a choice between the two?

The 5 is super narrow neck but the wood looks nice. Normally I don't like the control plate- no pick guard look but on that bass it looks good.

Finally...at least there is a response.. :D

I don't know either is it a combination or a choice between indian cedar and mahogany.
But I think it is kind of subtitution of the supplies. When they have some indian cedar they use it and when they have mahogany they use the mahogany. :hmm:

Let's just say the body made from indian cedar, I just curious about the tonal quality of indian cedar on the body and the canadian spruce on the neck & fretboard.
Are they good or not?? :help:
