I had the very Bass you mention and moved it on to someone on here a few months ago. It's not a bad Bass for the £, I wound the action down very easily via the truss rod and bridge saddles and had it playing well. Issues, the weight of them can vary. The first one I had I sent back as it was very heavy (and it had some damage). The second one was appreciably lighter but arrived damaged as well. Got a further discount but you get what you pay for as the "minging" tortplate is just a printed pattern and it started to wear off where I placed my thumb. I put flats on it and it sounded OK, the bottom B was good for a Bass of this price and the hardware was reasonable quality too. I traded up to a VM Squier Precision which I prefer but it cost 1.5x as much again.
