Stopped by my local GC today to pick up some strings and walked into the acoustic room just to check it out and saw this.Never heard of Copley before but it played good and it looks well made.Its made in China.Plays better than my Dean EAB and is about half the size.The preamp sounds decent.Model # is Cab-54.It has a lot of features that my Dean doesn't.Already has two strap post and the cable plug in is through the bottom post.It has a string through bridge instead of pegs.Has a nice pearl inlay around the body.Anybody know anything about this brand? I figured for $50 I couldn't go wrong.

Very nice score! For $50, I wouldn't have passed it up, either.

That's half what GC charges for a Roadrunner PVC bass case...can't go wrong for that price!
Time to buy some nice tapewounds. The D'Addarios are very good...I only had to give, my truss rod the slightest tweak when I put them on my Dean Exotica...and the plugged-in tone is incredible!
You might want to buy a Planet Waves rubber sound plug, too...puts an end to feedback and actually improved my plugged-in tone.

Got tapes on my Dean too.They are great.I have no clue what the strings on it are but they ain't half bad.Might just leave them on for awhile.I've tried googling the model # but come up with nada.
