AliExpress Bass?

[GeckoDan]

Has anyone ever bought a bass from an AliExpress supplier? If so, what was the result? Am after a project, and am aware I'd likely have to replace electrics, bridge etc, but what was the reliability of the supplier and quality of the body/neck etc?

Yes. An acrylic bass, 5-string with LEDs. One of the LEDs at the 24th fret didn't work so they sent me out a replacement neck. That was Music Zoo. Quality was good, fretwork well finished. It's a passive bass so no issues with preamp. I'll be replacing the strings at some point but they're usable.
