Issues with the jack socket but what a price!

hmmm. Wonder if the trussrod's working... cheap source of a nice slim neck

I have one (now fitted with emgs) as a bass that 'does not matter'. Stolen or damaged it is so cheap it does not matter. Good quality assembly, slim and very playable neck. Grain shows through nicely on the red finish. Long top horn makes for good balance and it is light. At £20 is an absolute giveaway.

Indeed. They are much better than their price point might suggest, and at £35 repaired this would be a very good backup or starter. I'm not after it because I've got one already (now wearing half-rounds and tuned from Eb) and I've got too many basses.

Awesome, thanks for posting this, I'm picking it up on Monday :-)

Always wanted one of these, seems like a lot of bass for the money, even at retail.

Perfect fixer-upper :-)

Well done Planer.

It's the right thing to do , at £20 somebody would just buy and abuse this .

A happy ending.
