It's based on a truly classic design so you're on the right track, if you ever feel the need to replace a bit there will never be a shortage of Precision parts. In my experience, basses like these can be made into pretty decent playing instruments with a bit of setup work. There are a few links to setup guides in the instrument resources sticky. You should read them, just to get an understanding of why the instrument is as it is and how you can make minor changes to suit your playing which make a big difference.

I reckon you've done well. Good luck with it.

Shame the woman wasn't included

well im not concerned about it's value just it's quality beaing unbranded and all it comes from aN isle of man company if you view there shop they sell a lot of strat and precision copy's I really dont mind its resale value as long as it wont fall apart after a week and is playable and solid it's made out of the same material of a precision also
apology for the punctuation im quite tired

also wanted to check was it good value for money like i wasnt ripped off

I wouldn't expect it to be a top quality bass but it should be playable and probably better value than a Squier or other entry level instrument.
