WOW, is this really a LOTUS bass ??? Yes, it is. I know there are a few TB'ers who know of and like these basses. I don't know if these are Made in Japan or Made in America. It has to be one of the two because these are 1980's and although cheap, has some great wood on there and plays REALLY great !!
This is a good beater bass, or a bass to buy for a kid who is just learning.
Take a close look at the super sweet flamed maple fretboard on this bass !
34" scale, 8 lbs or so. (It feels like 32" scale. It is uber fast)

Yes, even a TB'er can afford it... $100 plus $20 shipping. That's $120 total...

Thanks Joseph (aka Armybass). Payment received. I hope this bass lives up to your childhood memories. You can always change out the volume and tone pots if you don't like the 500k's that are in there now. A bit bright, but it plays nicely. It is functional, but I suggest you put on strings to your liking.
