SX Scorpion PJB/SC guitar - Tips for first time player

Good day all!

I've recently acquired a used SX Poison PJB. I am also a first time instrument player. The bass guitars intrigued me a lot, so I bought one I though would be a good beginner.

Are there any tips from you seasoned players that may have had experience with this brand?

And what materials are the guitar made from? Like the body, neck and so forth. I kind of like to know about all the technical aspects of everything I buy.

Regards.
 
Welcome. The SX brand gets a decent amount of love on this site.

According to the Rondo Music site, here are the specs on that bass:
  • Black finish with black pickguard and all black hardware
  • Special Scorpion Mother-of-Pearl inlay at 12th fret and on headstock
  • Dual cutaway solid Alder body; it is lightweight yet produces a full range of colorful tones
  • J-Style pickups offer superior output and two volume and one tone controls let you tailor your individual sound
  • Truss rod adjustable Maple neck with Rosewood fretboard
  • Black sealed tuners
  • Scale length is 34"
  • Width of the neck at the nut: 1 9/16" at the 20st fret: 2 9/16"
