    That was the bass (well a De Armond for that matter) that made me really want to get a five string. It sounded great to me. But don't listen to me, Im just a newb.

    I 2nd what embellisher said.

    that price is so low that you could probably sell it for more than you payed for it if you dont like it.

    Good luck finding one. I haven't seen any DeArmond basses in stock in any guitar stores in my area (Des Moines, Iowa). If you do get one make sure you do a review on it.
