Hard to go wrong for the price. It would be a fun project to experiment with.
If you had the skills and liked to do the work I may be a fun project, but it could quickly run up in price. Start at 119.99, add 40-50 for a set of strings that would not chew up the rosewood fretboard, 179 for a new set of pickups (emg) and 50 for bits and pieces and you are getting close to $400. Me? I agree with tallcoolone, but would be prepared for what is a midprice instrument in the end.

If the woods and construction are good and you spend a few hundred dollars on upgrading strings/electronics, you may well end up with a better instrument than purchasing a $400 bass to begin with. Many of them don't have good wood or good construction.
The key is if the underlying bass is good, then you have the core for a great, "upgrader" instrument. If the underlying bass isn't good, then you can pour endless amounts of money down that hole and never have anything playable.
