A very pretty J bass.  Looking at the condition and the new price on their website, this seems to be a real bargain. 

 

GLWTS.

This looks nice. How is the balance on a strap?

Wow how is this only £250 it looks fantastic, has a great shape a bit different from a fender J without it looking weird, colour combo is wondrous and the non pick guard style is really nice.

It gives my Fender American Deluxe Jazz a run for its money.
