Does anyone on here posess such a machine? Yes, I have one (in red). It came from Hank's (1993?) at Denmarksteet, London and ha been one of my favourite basses ever (together with my Gibson Thunderbird and a Dan Armstrong see through).
Are they as good as I remember? YES, a bit heavy but has a massive sustain !
A picture from it, manny years ago (1994 I believe . . . .)
