I cannot understand why Alvarez doesn't still sell these

I picked this up in a pawnshop for $80, no strap pins or low "E" string so still a great deal. Alder body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard, P/J pickup configuration. It's very resonant despite a thin guitarist-friendly neck (reminiscent of Ibanez Soundgear or some Yamahas) with a tight neck pocket and surprisingly good workmanship throughout. Mine had a partly-broken machine head, not unexpected for its age but worth mentioning. The electronics are functional with clean and precise wiring, but I badly want to change the stock pickups out for a Seymour Duncan quarter-pound set. I replaced the plastic factory nut with a Graph-Tech "Tusq XL" version and used the bottom 4 strings of a 5-string set to tune it down to B-E-A-D and it still sounds tight despite the 34" scale. Worth picking up if you can find one for a good price.

Update: I finally got a few upgrades added: installed G-Gotoh machine heads (the post on the lowest factory tuner finally popped off) and now it not only stays in tune better, but it resonates better too. I suspect this is because the replacement machines are heavier, adding mass to the end of the neck.

Also put in the Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound P/J pickup set (see my reviews of those for more detail), and now this thing is a KILLER. I don't think I'll ever need another bass!
