Chris P.:
No Gibson content, so please remove to 'Other Bass Brands' if needed, but I still thought this was the right place.

Basvarken:
Looks cheap (ish)

Chris P.:
The picture is a mock up. All Eastwoods I tried were okay.

Basvarken:
I know but the choice of components looks cheap to me. The bridge, the tuners, the pickups. None of these would seduce me to want one.

Chris P.:
But how can you see from a mock up?

I have soms cons and pros:

Pros: It has a gigbag (try finding one will be hard) and the fact they use a Mini Humbucker & Single Coil Blade seems that they thought about things.

Cons: Fender bridges are okay, but it looks wrong on a Gibson style bass. And it's bolt-on. With a set neck it would be more ttractive, I guess. Maybe it's better with a bolt on-neck. Who knows.
