If it were stolen I would`n be able to by another one, cus it`s a very rare guitar. But I really like it, I won`t sell it, because some kinda soul is in it.
The only thing I don`t like in it is Sound.

It must be old. Made was in Czehoslovakia. It have 20 frets, 4 strings. Laminated was on it (I think, becuse, some holes are on the body), but now is without it. It have one tone and one volume control. Also one pickup switch. There are two passive Spektrum pickups. Old, black. Photo of bass, You can see on www.mages.host.sk. Body is Les Paul. Mechanic is not originally. Tuners and bridge is new (relative)..... I bought it with cable, strap, bag (cheap, maded in Slovakia, but very good. Excellent value.)and new Stamar strings. Used.

For my style is not very good. I'm trying to play MetallicA, but it sound different. I have small Peavey Microbass Amp (good for that price), so I can't speak about real sound of this bass. But I Think, sound was good for Blues or Jazz... The pickups is noisy, but for home playing is good. For studio useless. But I like it, because Orion from Metallica sounds perfect.

It's quality product....for that price... Neck is good, but frets from 15 are useless for precision playing..

This thing is like a axe. You can cut the tree with it. Heavy, massive. The straps button are perfect. I can play on stage without backup (Anyway, I have only this one).

I'm playing on bass only four months. This my piece has a big value for me. Few good bassmen started on this my piece (Klingo from Battery - Metallica revival group from Zilina, Slovakia), so I love it...:)) If it were stolen I will buy another. It's ideal for begginers. Hard to play (strings are very high above frets), so if begginer stay playing and learning with it, he knows, he must love the bass, so can buy better one for much more money... Now I want buy new one....maybe Peavey, maybe Yamaha, but don't want to sold this one. It's shit really.....but if you are begginer, don't have money and love Metallica, you MUST have it...
