Xaviere basses

Has anyone ever tried one of these? They look like they might be like SX.

I have a P bass version there honestly, for the money, pretty awesome basses. The one I got sound pretty good. The key feature that made me curious enough to try one was the fact it has 21 frets on it. Just having that high E made me happy. The feel on the back of the neck was pretty good too.

The only issues I have with mine came from the fact the fret ends stick out a bit, easy fix if I wanted to. The A string has a buzz when played, easy to fix with different gauge strings or some filler in the nut. The last issue I had comes form the pickups on the E string. For me the sound that comes out sounds really hollow to the point it sounds like it's not picking it up well. So, if I fixed the A string buzz, the frets, and put a new pickup/pickup and pots. I could see this bass being awesome.

So there are my 2 cents.
