I used to have a Peavey MIDIBass (or however you spell it). It was to be the bass to end all basses for me. Midi triggering was all they said it would be. It was just fine and dandy. It sucked as an actual bass guitars. I do wish I still had it though. Just another in a long line of instruments I was too lazy to delve in to properly. At least I am consistent.
They were not uncommon, I wonder where they are now?
