In response to my mention of a hankering for a bass, my neighbor hauled the four-string version of this (think: longer and without a whang bar) out of his archives and bestowed it on me.
It plays well enough for me, that’s certain. It’s a tad quiet and I suspect the electrical innards need cleaning up, but it seems to hold a tune just fine.
