It's been 3-4 years now, but I don't recall the bass with any fondness.....
It really balanced badly ( That's saying something for me! I can pretty much "man up" when it comes to neck dive, the only bass I've owned that was worse was an Aluminum neck Kramer V), the neck isn't routed into the body very far at all ( it is a bolt on neck too) and it's definately not a short scale bass. The neck was more P than J which is a personal but that didn't make me want to keep it either. The pups were at very best weak, low output with no endearing tonal quality, and their postion on the body didn't help make it a better sounding or playing bass either, what the photo doesn't really give you is a sense of the size - it's a big bass, and if you compare it to a Gibson or a BaCH you'll see how far forward on the body the bridge is, again, this only contributed to the awkward playabilty.
QC is average for low end Chinese manufacture, nothing awful, again not great tho, think cheap. Gould isn't distributed in the U.S. so the one I got came to me from a dealer in the U.K., dealing with him was pleasant - in fact that's about the only thing about this bass that I do recall that went well. It was about 350.00 before shipping.
For similar $$$ BaCH is far better, I don't think there's an easy comparison to the short scale Gibson ( I'll post my thought's about Uwe's elsewhere, but I will say the my first impressions are that it's actually a pretty nice bass.
