I played one of these, a 4 stringer at Bass Direct last week. Oh my god what a bass it is. I'd happily get my hands on one and sell everything else i own, well maybe not the T-40 or the SB but I doubt they'd see much more use. The frets are easy to get used to and it's so clear and well balaced across the whole neck, also the fit and finish is bang on. Did I mention I like them?
