the headstocks almost as big as the body!

i know it's cheap, but surely they would have thought to change the shape to save space?

i think there's 1 or 2 people on the forums who own these (dunno bout the 7 string version), and if memory serves true you get what you pay for. ok basses, fit and finish aren't tops, but by no means bad.

i'm sure people will be along in a minute to tell us if i'm right/wrong.

I have a 5 string Mazeti. I paid £120 for it new. It needed new pick ups. The rest is just great. I have spent an awful lot more than I care to admit to on basses (US MTD, US Lak, Sei yawn yawn yawn). The Mazeti 5 is just fantastic with new pick ups and proves that we are indeed living in the golden age of lutherie and the law of diminishing returns is alive and well.

i tried a mazeti t-bird and it wasn't half bad, considering i hate the things! I've heard good stuff about mazeti

Here's a Mazeti 5. I quite like the look of it.
