Just snagged an Ernie Ball "StingLay" (that's Chinese for Stringray) 5 stringer. They can be bought for less than $200 if you do a little looking around. Good build quality and decent tone.
Now I have to learn to play it.
I bought a black one like on the left.
They're sold as "OLP" basses, "Officially Licensed Product".
Anyone here have one?
