Like Redleg intimated, they are hit or miss. I've played quite a few crappy ones. But I also owned a custom samick 5 w/a five piece bubinga/wenge neck, brass nut, active preamp, that was a seriously nice bass. Definitely on par with any Iby I've played in it's range.

I had it for several years and the only reason I got rid of it was because I had too many fivers. I still kind of regret getting rid of it, but I wasn't playing it much anymore, and better to get it into the hands of someone who would. Lol samick made a whole lot of guitars and basses for a whole lot of different companies. The electronics are crap, with upgraded electronics it is as good as any korean model of the same time period. Samick produced a lot of Ibanez guitars and basses too. I have a midrange Ibanez that is stock, and my old samick with emg's is more versatile.

I would agree they are hit or miss, just like fenders, gibsons and any other mass produced instruments. I'm asking 200 for mine with emg p5j's which means the bass is almost free w/pickups.

Class 12 physics practical file Samick serial number manufactured jean 3 years ago. Do you know what kind of guitar this is though. Samick #1051883 and I'm not sure on the yv441 that I listed as the more I look at the gold tag the more confused I become.

200 for a stock one is too much for sure. Lol samick made a whole lot of guitars and basses for a whole lot of different companies.
