Hi, I just picked up one of these new for 234 bucks at GC. I can't believe the quality level, playability, and sound of this cheap bass. I went to a jam last night in San Diego and played this bass for 4 hours. It sounded great and stayed in tune for the duration, even with the cheap, stock strings. No case, so I wrapped it in a beach towel. The only things I don't care for are the skinny-at-the-nut neck and the matte finish maple fingerboard, which I think will absorb dirt, oils, and sweat readily. This is a bass that you could gig with. Daily cost of ownership over 3 years is less than 22 cents/day.

$234 is the price, new? Interesting, Might have to check one out next time I'm near a GC... which ain't often since the nearest one in in Boise, which is about 400 miles away...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

I picked up the 5 string version in October...great value for the money...

I picked up the SUB 5 last year and it's a good instrument. Very punchy and plays angry. Great value purchase

Nope. I was talking about the guitar only; not the accessories. I didn't even include the cost of the beach towel......iiipopes wrote:Plus strap, cords, strings, case, etc.beatbyrd wrote:Daily cost of ownership over 3 years is less than 22 cents/day.
