Is this a good bass?

Topics about musical instruments other than guitar should go here. There's bound to be a Carter, LeRoi, or Yo-Yo Ma out there.

They are nice, but there are definatley some lemons. The pickups and bridge on those aren't as adjustable as a german-made warwick, which might leave a little to desire in terms of action and string height off of the pickups. I'm also not a fan of the pickups on those things- yuck. make sure you play before you buy. some are gold, some are not so gold. they have awesome tone for their price though. if you're going to buy a new one, i'd just suggest getting a real corvette that is used. they can be easily found for under 500.

i was about to get one of thoughs and decided to save up a bit more and got a used warwick one, they say there hard to differeate which is a lie. warwicks feel so much nicer and have such a nicer tone with more flexibility. i also have EMG's in mine so that might be part of it.
