5 String Electric Bass Guitar - $100 (Amelia)
QR Code Link to This Post
I've only seen these available on Amazon but this is a Vietnamese made 5 string bass with PJ pickups and a 3 band preamp with active/passive push-pull pot. It plays well and sounds quite good, not to mention the striking finish. It has a 34" scale bolt-on neck made from very smooth feeling roasted maple.
Couple things I noticed though:
-the input jack is somewhat finnicky, if you plug the cord all the way in it may not make a full connection until you pull it slightly out again
-there's a switch that just kills the sound entirely, no idea why it's even there
-the tuner knob on the G string comes off. It doesn't affect the stability of the tuning at all, but just something strange I noticed
These quirks aside there's nothing wrong with the bass itself, the neck alone puts it ahead of comparable Squier basses, not to mention the preamp.
These sell new online for about $185 I'm asking $100, I can meet at a public location near Amelia.
