Legends are good basses if you upgrade the pickups and preamp. The side jack is a little weak but it can easily be upgraded.

I upgraded my legend 5 and had it painted black. Its a great player.

Paulo, if you are in US or closer to the boarder you may try keeping an eye on GC. I'm 1 1/2 hour from the boarder (Canada) and snatched a Legend 4 (pics @ show me your SPECTOR thread) and a 1991 Foundation. It takes patience, thou...

Here are some quick pics. It's my beater. All dented and scratched up. I love it. Upgraded Black paint, Aguilar OBP3 Preamp + Metal knobs, EMG 40DC (white), and HipShot tuners, schaller straplocks and some custom black pearl dots from ebay user Jockomo. The neck is ultra straight. I gig this more than most. His name is Stimpy!
