You should be worried - it means whoever is selling it knows hee-haw about guitars. Plus at this price point it's bound to be firewood. I had something similar once, it was awful, poor cosmetically, intonation all over the place, inconsistent response from the piezo, just dreadful. I ended up giving it away, I couldn't sleep at night if I took money for it.

There are nice acoustic basses out there for a little bit more which are more worthy of your attention.

If you want an acoustic bass to take camping or something i reckon it'd be ok. Just don't expect a beautiful woody sound, and expect to have to spend some time making it decent
