Play it and see for yourself whether it's a good beater bass or not.

hahaha, I love my Hondo P. It's a little on the heavy side but not much more than my other basses. The neck is pretty wide but since yours is a J I'm assuming it'll be smaller.

I only NEEDED to change out the crappy rusted bridge. A new nut would probably help too. Excellent beater.
