It sounds very cheap. With several contenders within a small price range, you would be wise to go after the one that really speaks to you, even if it is a little more expensive. You might feel a temporary financial pinch, but this is your instrument, your voice we're talking about. In a year you will forget about the money. Please do yourself a favor and visit a luthier you trust for a pre-purchase inspection to make sure you are not buying yourself a bunch of problems. Also, if you have the chance, play the bass you really want in a large space, for a musician whose ears you trust. Better yet, take another bass player with you so you can listen from the business end.
