Looking for 175 + Shipping CONUS.

I'll be honest, i dont know a ton about these basses, as they arent very popular. I can tell you it plays like an Ibanez SR505, but with a bit more growl to it. So that means the string spacing is a little more narrow. If you have any spec questions or anything like that, let me know. I'll be more than happy to find out all the answers. I can tell you the bridge is meaty and working properly, as well as the truss rod. I can even include the key to adjust it if you want. This thing is quite the player, and for 175 dollars, its a good, cheap 5 string. It has a cool little recessed input jack too!

EDIT! I'm contracting what i said comparing it to an Ibanez SR505. The sr505 is lighter and has a way more floppy B than this thing. Trust me, I just sat down with both of them. This is more like...Anyone ever played a Yamaha John Myung bass? Like that, haha. This thing is really solid feeling, like the Myung. The SR's are light and dont feel as quality as this mother.

There is a .125 D'Addario on there right now, and It's pretty tight. scale length is 34.5...yeah, thats right. idk what the actual specs say, but its intonated and thats what the measurement is. It's a solid B either way. If you used .130 it would be stiff!

I got me one of these for x-mass this year off e-bay and I have to say it has become my favorite bass. My 4 Fenders are sitting around not getting much use and may end up going up for sale. I was amazed at the sound and feel of this bass when I got it. The only negative for me early on was that the string spacing is pretty tight but I quickly got used to that. Anyone looking for an inexpensive 5 string I would highly recommend this bass.
