The 'problem' with them is the name, people think it's cheap and nasty.

yep - that and the (shape of the) headstock, I've had a few of these and nearly had one many moons ago as my first proper bass.
Ended up going for a MIM Fender Jazz Deluxe in the shop basically because it said Fender on the headstock - in the days before I knew about MIM, MIA, MIJ etc etc. The SGC Nanyo was the better bass but I was swayed by what my mates would have thought.....how things have changed!!!
