Whats the deal with Edwards instruments?

Hi

While browsing the U-Box I came across a cool looking Edwards Jazz Bass for under 200 quid!Are these good quality instruments or whats the story?
Oh heres the link http://www.excite.co.jp/world/english/web/?wb_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ishibashi.co.jp%2Fu%5Fbox%2F&wb_lp=JAEN&wb_dis=2

Link didn't work for me,went straight through to general U-box. Was it this one? Factor in customs and shipping it could still be a good deal.

I'm guessing it was the sunburst one with the MM and Jazz pickups? Look like SD Basslines to me too. In my experience the Edwards are good (let's not go mental, they are good but not really fantastic better than Sadowsky Lakland or EBMM etc - good, decent) value for money. You can add €120 for shipping for that one and 25% or so import taxes, it'll still be a very good deal.

In comparison to a MIM Fender or anything how does it stack up?It's soo cheap like.

Wayyyyyyyyy better than MIM Fender.

Have a look at the spec yourself and see if you think it's a step above a MIM
