Need a bass id'ed

[gibson0822]

Ok I have a small favor to ask of you guitar nuts. Or more specifically bass nuts. There is this guy selling his gf's bass and hasn't stated the brand/model. So I was wondering if by chance any of you knew what it was. This is the link with pics: www.ionowners.com/showthread.php?t=18404 I don't want it to turn out to be a bass that's worth $50 when he's asking $200. Thanks.

I'd ask him to add a picture of the Headstock, but I'm pretty sure from what I can see of the Headstock it's a Brownsville (a series of entry level basses sold by Sam Ash).
Considering that this Bass being sold by Sam Ash via Amazon for only $109.00 with almost identical features, I would be loathe to pay much for the used one up for sale. The case, stand and strap are probably worth as much as the bass itself. For the same price he wants, you could go by a brand new Brownsville from Sam Ash with all the same accessories, or better yet, a really good beginner bass like a Squire Standard Jazz Bass.

For once, wandering all the local music stores in my spare time actually IS productive.

That's what I was thinking it was. Thanks.
