I think it'd be cracking for the portability..

Stick it in your car for spontaneous creativity.

You could probably even sneak it into work on a quiet day.

failing that, if you're ever stuck for a cricket bat... or an oar

Get a Travis Bean that is not intended to herd traffic away from roadside accidents and we're talking.

Ive played my cousins Wesley explorer clone and well... this shit stinks! Wiring was messy as hell, grounding issues, and the fretboard was dry as hell. But i guess for a basis for modding, these wouldnt be too bad.

I love it.

Okay quick review.

LOVE the body. It's REALLY heavy - heavier than my mates bass, and solid as a rock. I recently pulled it all apart as i had various mods in mind and this is a quick summary of thoughts.

Good:
HEAVY
SEE THROUGH PURPLE YO
Got it for £75 inc P&P from Wesley Guitars own ebay auctions
Neck feels pretty good, fits in body nice and tight.
It all works as you'd expect.
Feels awesome slung low.

Now the 'challenges':
The neck is possibly not hard enough or thick enough to cope with the body. The neck is easily pulled slightly out of tune against the sheer brute weight of the body.
The neck is a good thinnish modern profile, standard measurements etc but seems a little unfinished. A slight sanding and some coating of your favourit kind would help. The frets deffo need a proper dressing.
Now the big pisser for those like me who'd want to swap out the dirt cheap hardwwear. None of the hardwear, or the neck heel screw holes are ever quite that of a standard strat so you cannot do a straigght swap. Even the pickguard is slightly difffrent. I overlaid a strat PG on the guitar and you could use one with some hole redrilling but the actual shape is not quite right against the body as the stock guard. ME WANT UP GREEN PEARLOID, YOU UM CUT ME ONE PLZ FOR BROZ DEAL?

Gotta go but there's some more details I'll post later after work...
