I bought this a few years ago, and at first (as most would expect with a bass this inexpensive) it was not terribly great. The pickups are a weak and the action is not the best. Heres what I did:
-Fixed the action (alen wrenches, and some nights with weights on it)
-Bought 2 sets of P-bass pickups and installed BOTH (replacing the old ones and adding another at the neck, about $40 on ebay, great deal)
-Repainted it with a black gloss, gold and silver on the pickguard (sanded it down but retained the cool looking red underneath)
-New strings (ernie ball hybrids)

All in all, the work took about 4 hours cumulative, and only cost me about $50-60. Sure you could get a better bass for that much more, but if you want to have fun and make a bass truly your own or want to experiment on a bass, this is the one. This bass has good quality wood and hardware that can be used with the same, new and improved bass.

Regards

I recently bought this and was not at all satisfied. I had it for about 2 weeks and it broke when I unplugged it. The sound wasn't even that great. So I'm trying to return it. Spend the extra money unless your a VERY beginner.
