That's not horrible at all, worth a try. The Harley Benton stuff is more than decent.
I would have killed for a bass with looks like that and at that price in 1976. Instead I had to get a "Johnny Guitar" Jazz Bass-knock-off because it was all I could afford.
I was heartbroken with the looks of it. It was immediately clear to me that I would not become a rock star
with that thing - and guess what? I was right. To add insult to injury they had it hanging in the store right beside this ultracool Burns Flyte which was unaffordable for me (several thousand Deutsche Mark, a king's ransom at the time).
If you wonder why I have issues with Fender, dig no further! I've just revealed it all.
