I have seen some that have lasted VERY well over the years because they were stored and cared for, like any good instrument. With the applause electrics, as the hardware and woods weren't top of the line, it all depends on how well it was cared for. There are also the Magnum Basses which fetch a little more, but are very under-rated guitars. The Ultra was also an import, but assumbled in CT or someplace on the east coast. The Apple-sauce line was a low-end import version of an already "halfway decent" Bass the Ultra Bass.

"Are they halfway decent?" in the true sence of the term, I guess one-quarter decent.

Are they halfway decent? I've got a Martin D-18 and Ovation Legend 12-string, but I don't want to spend much to start with on a bass and I saw the above bass on ebay very reasonably. I'm a guitar player of 35 years thinking of trying out bass.

An Ovangkol fingerboard/bridge and mid depth bowl allow for effortless and comfortable playing. A sleeker headstock design creates an aesthetic that many others aspire to. Our new Applause Balladeer models include traditional Ovation appointments such as a spruce top, Scalloped-X bracing, and abalone inlaid rosette. The new line of Applause guitars showcases Ovation’s forward thinking while retaining the high standard of performance expected from a quality instrument.
