Shine or Sh*te?

[jwbassman]

Hi guys - I'm thinking about a fretted 5 at the moment and I've seen this on eBay [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Shine-Warrior-Deluxe-5-String-Active-Bass-Guitar-Honey_W0QQitemZ270124733627QQihZ017QQcategoryZ4713QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]link[/url] does anybody know anything about these?

Looks pretty decent and is nice and cheap, but does that mean it's going to be crap

Thanks in advance...

If you're looking for a 5, you could do a lot worse than this Schecter

If you don't get on with it, you won't lose much (if any) money selling it on, and they're really well built instruments for the price.

Yeah - I was looking at that bass last night, I've got a squire fretless 4 on eBay at the moment, once that's sold and there's only a couple of days to go, I can think about getting something else

try before you buy, playable, cheap, alas not a great trade/resale value ,if you wanna,move on up!,at a later date.the olp tony levin 5 string basses are supposed to be very nice for the price and active.couple on ebay just recently second hand.

I fully agree - if I'm honest I think I'll just have to shelve the GAS for now and save up some proper money
