I have had nothing but good experience from Gear 4 Music basses (4 of them) - because I was not expecting out of the box greatness. They need new strings, a fingerboard truing and possibly a new bridge. But any lower priced instrument is likely to need that.
Would I buy from Ebay? Yes. If the price is right then there is space to have a luthier do magic.

I would like an amp that can run down to 2 ohms.......why are there so few available?

Acoustic Image ones do and have no fan either.
I cannot stand solo bass stuff. Endless self indulgent dross. Really, bass is to be played with people. The ensemble thing is what it is all about in my not so humble opinion.
So why am I digging this? I'm not sure, but I am

I feel your pain. It was exciting while it lasted though
It is a Nuvo by R.Hyde Guitars. It popped up on my Facebook feed and I thought "I know a group of people who would like to see this".

I learned the Lets Dance line a few years ago. The notes are really uncomplicated but I think you need a really solid drummer who knows what they're doing to be able to pull them off. There is so much groove in the bass line.

If Tony Thompson was sitting in the drum chair (he was) then solid is GO!
They were gracious together. The P was a Bravewood with a 63P scratchplate. It completely scratched all the same itches as my 66J. I could happily live with a Bravewood Jazz instead of the 66J, but I cannot quite make the move to actually flog it. My wife has told me that I am not allowed to. The Bravewood also taught me that I do not like P nut widths so it went.

Our basses might have been twins at first I don't think Fender made a white Jazz without matching headstock at the time.

They would have been triplets. I have a Jan 66 Dot/Bound sunburst as well.

Excuse the P pic. I no longer own that.
