Encore 7/8 info

[pickle]

Hi, i am currently looking ay an encore bass that is listed as a 7/8 bass, i am assuming that is scale. would that mean the body is still full size or will the body be smaller then a standard one? the person only wants £10 for the whole thing in working order, im thinking it may be a good project bass.

Also does anyone know what the bodies are made of?

The body is smaller as well as the neck.
They're designed for youngsters who can't quite cope with the size of a PB.

Encore used to be made from plywood but they have have upped their game over the last few years.
For the price though, it's cwertainly not going to be a single piece of wood.
