This popped up on the local kijiiji and my "NO MORE BASSES!" new years resolution went out the window. :o

It cleaned up really nice with the usual nicks and wear found on a 30 year old bass. I like this finish (walnut/maple), I have a Yamaha BBN4 with a similar finish.

It was no $50 steal but the price was quite reasonable. However......

The p'up output is very weak and the ohm meter suggests a problem. I cleaned up the ground connection at the bridge but there is still a loud hum when not touching the string/bridge/jackplug. It gets louder when I touch one of the p'up poles. :bawl:

I've fired off an email to Kent Armstrong..........
