SX and Jim Deacon basses

[Marvin]

I thought I read somewhere that they were either very similar or basically the same bass just re-branded. Is this true?

It is,there are 2 quality types of SX though,the starter pack are of a lesser quality than the regular SX/Jim Deacons,and there are more options with the SX branded ones.

I might add that some of the older ones were exactly the same as Stagg models.i have an older Stingray copy like this and it is really good quality.The Jim Deacon/Stagg models have satin laquer on the necks whereas the newer Jim deacons mostly have a gloss laquer.
