Haven't played one but I've been waiting for them to bring out a 5 string version which I was told was happening. There have been some good reviews on them so far.

Jon (Bassassin) tried one of these at a music fair when they first came out, and AFAIR he wasn't at all impressed.

You'd probably be much better off picking up an old JapCrap copy for the same sort of cash.

And doesn't cost anything like a Ric ! You get what you pay for !

I've got one. It's not a real Ric but not so far away... VERY lightweight, fast neck and mid-focused sound. Stethically is not as cool as a real Ric but it's more practical since the bridge is the typical Fender style one that can be directly replaced with a Gotoh/BadAss/etc. Payed 550£ and I think it's worth every penny.
