Found an Ibanez BTB in a pawn shop....

I've found an Ibanez BTB four string in a pawn shop for $230. It looks barely used, no scratches on the back from belt buckles. It's a bit dusty like it's been stored in the open. It has the mono rail bridge, the BTB logo on the front of the headstock, and I think it says 400 on the back of the headstock. I'll have to look again next time I'm there. It's finish is very good and it's really pretty. If it all works, and the neck is straight, is this a good deal? Keep in mind I'm a beginner, and I have a P bass clone already.
