 Re: (Chinese) Bass - How Low (Price) Can You Go?

I've had a look at all the Chinese low C basses I can think of from all manner of sellers and prices and it seems there are two types.

One type has the Bundy-style inline side/trill keys and Yamaha-style lower joint pad cups:

The other is more Selmer-style with the side/trill keys on long rods, extension tab on LH3 fingerplate (like Buffet Prestige basses) and the lower joint has extra arms to help regulate the extended mechanism and that dreadful LH low D lever linkage:

And now they're even offering them in grenadilla!
