Anyone ever seen/played one of these, from the pictures its just a no-name SR5 copy (or rather a 5 string SR4)

I'm just wondering how badly wrong I can go for 110 quid.

I want a cheap 5 string with a maple fretboard, I guess its either that or waiting for Rondo music to get some back in stock, so I can import one.

Makes you wonder what he must be paying for them - to make a half-decent profit it would have to be around £50...
Surely it wouldn't be worth the effort for anything less?
So then what is it actually costing to get them made in China, then shipped (even by sea in a container it must cost something) into the UK... ?
Crazy really - cos they do look OK!

I thought the same, but it might just be the angle that the photo is taken from. I'd be interested in your views should you buy one
