Seen them on the bay...distressed but just a take on a p or J bass.

I have one of the tele style guitars, but haven't tried the basses. The finish is either interesting or startlingly ugly depending on your viewpoint, but the instrument is very good for the money. The "EMG designed" alnico pickups sound a lot better than the ceramic bar magnet jobs in most similarly priced instruments and the neck seems well made in a chunky sort of way. My only real complaint about mine is that the nut was crappy soft plastic which the strings dug into - I replaced this with a bone one right away. The rest of the hardware all seems solid and functional enough, which is about as much as you can ask for £99. I like mine enough that I gig with it.
