Got this 8 string bass as a Christmas present to myself. Very cheap compared to any other 8 string basses I have seen, but does reasonably well for what I paid, which was just shy of '200. The finish is a deep red, and fairly good overall. If you look very closely, you will see some minor deficiancies but nothing to worry about. It featured a bolt on neck, rosewood fingerboard and maple body. Also 2 volume & tone knobs. Very good sound from the thing. The extra strings definitely add an interesting dimension to the sound. The bass was setup well and I must say I am thouroughly enjoying playing with it.
