I'd saw these Retrovibe basses on Ebay last week and kept an eye on them.

Picked up The Zygote in Trans Red and the Evo in White.

Out the boxes both were very well built and finished.The necks had a good Fret job and were
smooth. The action on the Evo was perfect, I'm used to playing thinner necks but had no
problem getting used to the thicker neck on the Evo, the Zygote being thinner of the two.
No chance these necks are moving.

Got about an Hour playing them tonight, 1st impression Damn those pickups are loud ! The
pair of them were strung with D'addario roundwounds, very crunchy sound. Started playing
Nirvana and I've never done that before and not the bass part, With the volume rolled back
and less attack with the fingers the Evo was sounding great so I think maybe lowering the pickup
might be for me.Those pickups are really sensitive,catch everything you do.
Dave from ProBass is doing these basses with 24 hr delivery,a great set up,eye catching
looks certainly they're not pretending to be something else all at a really good price.
Another thing I just noticed sizewise they're quite small, about the same as my Dean EVO XM
and it's a short scale.
Worth checking out.
