I own this bass, bought it used for $250. It was a great deal at $250. It plays beautifully with nice action. Mine is set up with very low action and still has no fret buzz and plays like a dream. I have gigged this bass and it performs very well. I am currently looking to replace it, but I will have to spend a lot to seriously step up to a nicer instrument. Hello Dingwall Combustion. If your starting out or looking for a very player friendly bass this is a great investment. It is solidly built so it will last a very long time.
