CV 60s Mustang Bass OW : Great bass, but a little rough around the edges

Overall this is a great bass.

I have small hands, so all I really wanted was a short-scale bass to start learning, as the 34'' ones made rehearsals very hurtful very fast. In that regard, this bass delivers: smaller frets means easier to reach frets, which makes my life easier. And also it sounds really good.

But there is a problem with this bass, and it's because of its price. Yes, it's cheap, but that comes at a cost: no versatility, only 20 frets and it's very uncomfortable to reach the last two (I know it's a short-scale, but I've seen better), and single pickup with only volume and tone controls. With this price, you know what you get, but other basses have SO much more versatility than this one, for a similar price (looking at Yamaha and Cort).

If you want something like the real thing, but not the real thing, this is it. If the inconveniences listed above are too much of a nuisance to you, then maybe you should look for something else.
