                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[It did have a burr or something at the bridge on one of the strings that caused me two have to replace the string a couple of times until I buffed the bridge and stop-tail piece with my Dremel tool.  That could happen to any instrument maker's bridge.  Other than that issue, which was minor, I love my Eastwood and the quality seems fine.  It is a solid piece of workmanship.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have the Eastwood Rocket. black w/ white pick-guard.  It is a short scale 30" bass and so are the 30 1/2" .  You will need to immediately replace the strings, IMO.  I found them to be extremely floppy.  I got heavier gauge long scale flat-wounds and now it really rocks (or jazzes) if you like flat-wounds.  I have flats on two of my three basses.]]></content:encoded>
