Looks horrible but if you're local then might be a good bet. Weird configuration with the pups and switches, anybody (basically directed at bassassin) anything about it?

Apart from the name and the pickups (which might well have been swapped) that's the same bass as my very first one, which I had brand new in 1978 for the sum of £59.

Never heard of Vision before, but it is MIJ, it is a bargain at £49 and it is a piece of crap.

If there was postage I'd quite likely buy it to see if it's as bad as I remember, see if I could make it play OK (I know how to do a decent setup now) and to tidy it up and make a quick 70-odd quid profit.

Ah - the joy of re-buying that first guitar, which was so awful you couldn't wait to get rid of it and get something playable!

(I've been looking at a Satellite bass nearby...)
