Lawson Race Bass

I just ordered a Lawson Race Bass on Ebay for $224.99, but i couldnt find any reviews on it. Has anyone here ever played one or know anything about them? It has a 14 day return policy so i figured worst case scenario i lose 5 dollars. Link Removed
 
I used to own a Lawson acoustic bass, and got rid of because of the shoddy workmanship. The end of the fretboard was glued to the top, which sank about 1/4 inch, and warping the top. Intonation was anyone's guess on that thing, and worsened the higher up the neck you went.
I saw a Lawson electric in a local 2nd hand shop, it also had subpar assembly.
That's my experience with the brand. Hope for your sake yours is better.
