ProfJames Posted January 17, 2021 Author Posted January 17, 2021 Will have another look, thank you................any others? Brice (Rono music) I found but again, I don't think they do a four string and I have no idea if they are any good. Believe they are a Korean manufacturer and I have had Peerless basses before and they are excellent.......... Quote

Was concerned about fan fret but I really have seen no difference, quite forgiving for me in fact! The Ibanez necks on them are so good. Under 400 quid for it as well. Obscene quality for a relatively low price bass.... Quote
