Seems like the price is right. www.bassnw.com bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 1914 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 12:50 pm:    Those were pretty well made in the day. I'd be surprised if it weren't pretty close to the performance of a Spoiler or Persuader for a very low price. Heck, you could probably rip out the electronics and sell them for the $399 purchase price. elwoodblue Advanced Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 242 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 8:58 pm:    I had similar thoughts keavin Senior Member Username: keavin Post Number: 1408 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Thursday, March 20, 2008 - 7:03 am:    ulisalm Junior Username: ulisalm Post Number: 25 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Thursday, March 20, 2008 - 9:15 am:    Hi, the bass is really nice and its agreat price with two P-Pickuups & electronics & Filter too.

Can't go wrong there. With the current exchange rate, they probably owe you money.
