These are great basses. Made in Taiwan, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but might be less collectible than the MIJ models. Knobs are non-original, but easily replaceable.

Waaaay overpriced, and the finish is stripped. These came in either black or white. It's quite an ugly body too, with a veneer top that stops at the forearm contour. Condition is not "very good", the new finish on the body looks very coarse and rough (zoom in on that lower horn!). Thanks, but no thanks :|

That's one hack of a job!

I sold one in much better condition about a year ago for around $500 less than his asking price.
This very same bass was posted on CL for $250:

Agreed on all counts- mine was black and looked way better than this…. And sadly I sold it for peanuts… lesson learned..
