I'd probably give this a whirl, but that price makes me shy off.
I'd have to try it, of course.
but at three bills, I'd probably grab it regardless.
 
I almost picked up a 4 string one about 10 years ago. Sam Ash was blowing them out for next to nothing and they are really light, small and played really nice.
 
Our drummer's got one that I play now and again. His is the dual pickup version, and i don't think it has a switch on the back. Its really not a bad bass, but not something I'd want to play all the time. Sounds good enough though.
 
I stumbled on this while looking up their Steinberger knockoff (you know, box on a stick), that a galpal of mine had many years ago.
it played great, and I was wonerding what they were worth nowadays.
not a heap, but more than I'd be willing to pay...
