Set neck. Seems like a good price.

You say that like it's a good thing. 98% of all recorded popular music basslines have been played on bolt-on neck basses.

As for the price, it should be $219, like the Squier Bronco, since that is essentially what it is and from a company that no one buys basses from.

Set neck construction is more expensive to produce. It is a Gibson style bass design rather than the more popular Fender style bolt on.
