I was quite pleased with my walnut brown version for £140 ex-demo, so £50 is a proper score!

They seem to get a lot of stick as cheapo instruments for beginners who should aspire to 'better' things as soon as they've shown some kind of lasting interest, but mine is (I'm fairly sure..) the lightest bass I own, and the neck is really nicely finished and fretted. Sounds good, too - I find the little bass boost control thingy applied really sparingly just lifts the sound and adds a pleasing bit of weight. Great little basses!

And I'm with you on the cleaning, masking, oiling and polishing - very satisfying little job indeed. I recently added to my inexpensive Ibanez hoard with an SR305 and even though it was brand new, the frets were tarnished and the board was looking a bit factory-grubby and dry.

I can still smell the Duraglit now...
