Hi everyone, Im looking for some info on the Samick artist series basses. I've looked around but there's not much at all out there. Im looking into what kind of finishes these came in, but more importantly, are there any places that still sell these?

They get hugely variable reviews on forums. I have one as a spare: standard P bass copy which I paid $25 for. It's bang on straight, sets up well and actually plays really well (bit slower neck than my Ibanez, but very light action). It has awesome sustain - much better than my other basses.
It's candy apple red with maple neck & fretboard, I think. In fact, I'll take some pics for you...
On the down side, the electronics are a mixed bag. I had to repair the pickups, where the epoxy had failed, and I've never gotten the E string to sound right (too quiet and if I raise it too much is sort of saturates). It hummed a bit, so I lined the cavity / pick guard with foil and twisted the pick up leads. It still hums a bit when in mid volume range, but not too badly.
