Inexpensive? I guess so. I got it after it was discontinued. But don't get me wrong. I don't know why they discontinued it. Fender has a habit of doing this with acoustic bass guitars. This one sounds great, and plays great. Feels right when I play it. The shape of the neck transposes easily to a six sting acoustic guitar, so it's comfortable to just switch from on to the other without a lot of adjustment. As I said, it was inexpensive, but far from cheap. I understand they replaced this with another model. I'd check it out if I were you and you are looking for an acoustic bass. I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed. Pay plans at Zzounds are always a plus too. I've been buying from them for quite some time. If there is a problem of any kind, they respond quickly and resolve without question. Their service is pretty legendary in my book.
