Bought this a while back when they were on sale for £97, played it for a very sort while then bought an Ibanez Parlor bass which satisfied my micro bass needs. This has been sat in its box on a shelf in my office for a while now so probably time to move it on.

Quite a nice little thing, woodwork is surprisingly good and everything is where it should be. Some nice touches on the edges and a cut logo. Condition is pretty much as new and the strings are barely played in, aside from a small chip on one of the bridge string holes all I've done to it is trim the A string (which had way too many wraps) and replace the single rubbish strap button with a pair of better quality ones. Has an undersaddle piezo, preamp (with tuner), easy rear access panel, XLR out and 1/4" out. Also comes in a nice little gigbag which is cheap but not rubbish, definitely enough padding to keep the bass safe and has a roomy (for the size of the bass!) front pocket.

The only real bad point is that the 1/4" jack isn't stereo so the battery will slowly drain, I never got round to fixing this as the bass hasn't been used much tbh. The XLR out is switched so it's just the 1/4" that needs modding, the battery is also located on the same plastic cover as the outputs so running a switching wire should be pretty pain free. The battery compartment is very easy to remove and the battery sits in its own little tray so removing it after use only takes a second. I'll supply this with a fresh 9v battery.

Still have the original shipping box so can post this at cost although collection from FY5 or local delivery along the Fylde coast is available.
