JD & Bros bass - any info/help please!

[JJ Bass]

Hi all,


Seen a nice looking bass for sale online a JD-S4B bass. Has anyone played one? I read its $699 new somewhere which may suggest its not a complete budget bass.

It's a neck through wood bass with active 2 band eq and soapbar pick-ups, but not sure sure of the brand of them...

Whats the second hand price?

'elp please

Thanks

The reviews are a bit mixed, might be better off with my old hohner B!

Thanks for the help. The JD looks a good bass, but some of the budget ones do loook the business these days but the elecs and build quality isn't all that. I ask alot of my bass so an inferior one would only annoy me and end up being sold on asap!

Wish it was a 'jaydee' though !
