it's Just an Onyx ,, a baby Bass I call it as i Have like Fenders,Ibanez, an old Kawai, another Onyx, all Huge,, this is a Baby, 21 frets ,4 strings, Yet i only use 2, well 3 if Ya count the Power chords(root 6).. its Ivory looks Strat style ,,got from Hock Shop,, Like all my Guitars & Basses, they Have to Jump out say Play me. This 1 did, as im like tiny, most Basses are as Big as Me. it sucks, this is Gods gift to Girls or Little Dudes,Small , it has no serial or model, Can't find the company,, But stock was Ok, but i added a Badass Bridge, new Heads(?),, now it Has a More thumping sound, the Pickups seem to give a Bit of Distortion when using a Pick. im gonna change to EMG,when can afford.. i sold my fender Too
Sound

the sound, well depends,,, Our style, Varies, slow surf/cruisy,, to Grunge/Blues, to Like semi -Thrash, the Amp i us is an
ACOUSTIC, 300Watt, from the 70's,its @#%@#% LOUD, cant turn past like 3(tried on 5, in Hallway at home,it Killed my Goldfish, and i was Physically Sick). oh if you find an ACOUSTIC, model 330, Let me Know(i want another,in case mine Breaks),, But with the Badass, and , no name machine heads, Kicks ass,, i only use a Overdrive Pedal, no need to, just turn up amp Gain,, Sounds Ok,

Ive been trying to play for 15 yrs, Guitar, only picked up Bass as 4 guitarists in last band, Fell Instantly in Love,,Bought a Cheap Bass,
LOL, if it was stolen,, Id Hunt Down, shoot,, i sold my fender for $150, to get the Badass, Name means shit, its the Feel, way it Suits, the Other ONYX bass, is full size, not Same, I hate nothing on this Bass,,if i did, i can Change it, that what Parts are for...
DONT SPEND LOTS ON a Guitar or Bass, if a Cheap 1, feeels OK, AS You Can Change it(new Bridge,pickups,machine heads,etc)
Be Excellent to each Other... Peace
