can't be much worse than the korean Squier I started on.....

[Mr. Foxen]

Apparently Solid Alder bodies too. Tempted to project, hope someone gives me the lowdown first.

Well, according to their listing:

[quote name='harrier guitars']Our guitars are not always the cheapest available (we don't like cheap, our aim is to offer our customers optimum value)[/quote]

?!?! I'm actually tempted to get one just to find out what it's like as a beginner's bass (and if it's anywhere near decent, as a back-up, since I only have one 4-string...)

[SJA]

- and their strat copy is £39.75

P copies, acoustic bass and a PJ 25fret bass for around £50, and cheaper guitars.

Not the cheapest, but certainly the cheapest pearl blocks/rosewood board Jazz I've ever seen - particularly if you sniped it at its start price:

Anyone tried one of these? Just made an offer on one and got a counter offer. Tempted as I was after a jazz body and the blocked neck looks cool, don't want to find its made of pine or something.

I am thinking one of the jazz harrier basses at £50 BIN sound like a good deal, 2 piece alder body, maple neck....
Spend a little on some new tuners, bridge and pups say.... £80, you got something nice for £120 or less if you flog the other parts etc.
anyone bought one or played one yet?
