She arrived last week thursday. The seller never bothered with maintanance so she was covered in about 10 years of goo and the strings were completely dead, so it may have been the set she came from the factory with. She carries no serial number or marking to determine orgine, but according to the info I found on the web this model was produced in Korea between 1998 & 2003.
I got the neck straight in 2 days and used the hours between other activities in the weekend to clean her up, oil the fretboard and put on some fresh strings. She plays real OK for such a cheap bass. I played her with band practise last wednesday and was quite surprised.
Even though she's only got 1 volume pot ( which is to be amended this weekend
), so there's no way to locate the sweet spot between the PUPs, she's got a really snappy sound which cuts through the mix even at a relatively low volume. Precision-like aggressive mids, a respectable lo-end and enough hi-end to give her an excellent definition. Long story short, she sounds like no other bass in my collection and probably will be a welcome addition. Yes, me thinks me gonna like this baby ........
