Got that goddamn piece Žo junk as my first bass ever... first gear - first mistake. The playability sucks, and the body is nothing but sume chunks of firewood glued together and finally hevily coated in black plastic (thickness about 1/8 inch). The original PU\'s sounded like an angry cow, so i replaced them wit the PU\' of a Yamaha BB 404, but nonetheless this finger torturing \"instrument\" will give way for a Ibanez SRX series in the next days. There is just one thing that i like: the shape of the head is quite cool.
