I suppose it might be handy if you wanted an entry-level EUB. But so far as I can tell its main selling point is that it's really easy to kill with fire
I liked it. It did what it said on the tin, looked good, played well, decently built given the cost. Neck dive, yes, but that goes with the territory. I just wasn't using it. I'm glad it went (back) to a good home
I've got one. It's very nice and I really like the range of tones. I don't play it much - I'm mostly fretless - but it's light and compact and versatile.
I also really like the fact that it's perfectly balanced for carrying using one rail if you shove the pickup down to the bridge end

A rarity. Probably for good reason, it must dive like a centre-forward and I'm guessing its not particularly well made. But the design...
Utterly bonkers. I love it
Some people would tell you that this is just normal pricing for R*ckenb*cker... three times what the thing is worth... I wouldn't know, never played one and never likely to.
