Found this bass local for 80 bucks I just want to kind of know some info on them. I’m sure it’s worth 80 being both old and cool, but kind of curious just on info on them or how the might play/sound. I like the offset body, kinda like a univox. I think I might pick it up, the only thing in my head is how much stuff I already haveView attachment 3133456 View attachment 3133457

Wow. That's a blast from the past. I worked on one for a friend's kid once. The body is plywood. The tuners aren't bad. Pots, knobs and output jack are cheap. The pickups were actual humbuckers, IIRC, not singles in a larger cover. What you see is what you get: a budget '70's Asian instrument. Check the usual potential problem spots. If it's not in bad shape and you really like it, get it. You could possibly do better for that price, but you won't lose your shirt on it either way. Hope this helps. BTW, welcome to TB.
 
Cool that for sure helps, didn’t know if it was a decent quality steal. But I’ll go with the you get what you paid for on this one. Gonna pass unless I get it as a trade or cheap, I already have a moserite guitar copy and it’s awesome.
