NBD 65 buck special

[BigBadaBoom]

I picked this up this red little short scale Jazz clone last nite for 65 bucks. After working on it for many hours it's playing perfectly now. The only issue being that the truss rod is completely loose right now so that the Bass has the tiniest bit of relief. I strung it up w/an old set of DR's I had and that seemed to help. Anyway its my 1st shortie and I am liking it so far, it's pretty good looking Bass too. These "SX"'s any good??

Actually, if you search for 'essex' you'll find a ton of info.
I have a short scale SX pass. Sounds great and is lots o'fun to play....

Older headstock style SX Ursa 2. I would have bought it also at that price.
