I want a cheap 5 string with a maple fretboard, I guess its either that or waiting for Rondo music to get some back in stock, so I can import one.

Surely it wouldn't be worth the effort for anything less? So then what is it actually costing to get them made in China, then shipped (even by sea in a container it must cost something) into the UK... ? Crazy really - cos they do look OK!

SJA Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 the string path over the nut to the machineheads looks a bit odd- all squeezed together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested in your views should you buy one Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
