17 years late, I stumbled on one of these on ebay, looked it up here to see if anyone has experiences with them, I can say I'm happy with mine. Sounds good enough all stock, the previous owner put dot fretboard markers on it but it's stock otherwise. The preamp is good enough and has a sire like lay out with volume and tone stack, blen, bass mids & treble, active/passive switch and a mute switch. I may swap it for an obp 3 though, maybe.
