Is this a good deal? I am just curious as to how these basses sound

For $60, you can't go wrong! especially if it's got the stereo wiring. I suggest you snatch it up before I do.

I own the earlier LB50, which I bought from our resident Carmine here. It's virtually the same instrument, except the body design of the LB60 was made pointier to capitalize on the hair band craze. You can read about them here, as well as the earlier LB50, which will give you the full specs:

With the stock PUPs, I'd describe the sound as similar to a Rickenbacker, thoguh with his mods there's no telling what it sounds like now. The active electronics and PUPs he installed may actually be an improvement. For one, the bass has stereo outs. Very uncommon except on a stock Rick, but otherwise you won't find a lefty with stereo outs anytime soon. It also has a set neck, phase switching, ebony fretboard, etc. Many upscale appointments. I actually use mine as my main midi bass, which is strung up with piccolo strings. I run the midi synth sounds out to my GR33 guitar synth processor/out to PA, then I one of the stereo out jacks to my Digitech Whammy detuned to bass register and the second stereo out jack runs out to my guitar amp. That's 3 outs resulting in a GIGANTIC wall of sound.

Hm i might have to snatch it up then! Also, I'm sure he wouldn't ship it so probably no luck there unless you're in central PA lol

Can you talk more about your midi setup? It's something that interested me for awhile but i've always worried about poor tracking, etc.

This was my old bass I traded it at West Chester Music 6 years ago...Neck issues stay away...Trust me.

Awh bummer, thanks for letting me know!
