I had one of these, and instantly regretted selling it. It played and sounded really really nice, the pickups sounded great and I wish I kept it. Of course mine had new tuners and a Badass bridge so I'm sure that helped, but still... lots nicer than the average fake P basses at the store when I got it. It made glorious feedback or really thick clean bass, I wish I had at least kept the pickups when I sold it. (For less than $100 I might add)
ON a different note, why does this guy http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Lawman-Guit ... QQ_armrsZ1 have all the same cheap Asian guitars I did while growing up, and why are they all approaching $500 now, when I either gave mine away, or got less than 1/5 th that when I sold them? Oh right, nostalgia. Anyway I was seriously tempted to bid on this but the fact that I have 2 other basses already (and 3 dissasembled project guitars :oops: ) I should let this go.
