Good morning! 8)

I saw one of these in a (fairly) local guitar shop & had a play on it.

I have looked at and tried electro basses before, but this one just seemed "right".

Now, of course, I can't forget the darn thing & have sold a couple of bits & pieces on the 'Bay to get some money together to get one.

Before I take the plunge - what do you guys out there think about them?

I liked the look & the feel (I love Jazz bass necks), but who has one & where are they made - are they Mexican? - I didn't look that closely to see the serial number when I played it.

Regards,


Stompbox.

Made in China. There is what seems to be an unbiased review here: http://www.gearwire.com/fender-kingman-sce-acoustic-electric-bass-review.html

I've played two of them and they play better than the other acoustic basses I've tried. I'm just not fond of the way an acoustic bass sounds. If I needed one I'd buy the Kingman model.

Oh, forgot to mention to make sure you get one WITH the hard case. For some reason the hard cases are hard to get otherwise.
