Beginner electric cello

TLDR; how bad are electric cellos for newbies with sound restrictions?

Hey all,

For context I am already a working musician so this is very much an expand my portfolio/learn a new instrument passion project.

I live in an apartment building where noise is a concern, so I’ve been looking at buying an electric cello just to come to grips with the instrument. In general, I’ll just be aiming to use it to stack string arrangement down the line within DAW’s, but I want to at first figure how on earth to play the big bast*rd.

I found a £400 gear4music electric cello… I get its cheap and probably rubbish, but will it be good enough for me just to come to terms with playing the instrument for the first year of learning before investing in something better if I really love the instrument?
