I wonder what sort of band's bass player would play one of those. Or if it's intended solely as a studio or bedroom bass.

Oh dear lord, look at those pickups!

It is quite mixed in it's styling. I bet Sir Milard wouldn't have said no to that.

You don't want on of them, the frets are all wonky!

Nice enough, but a 4.6K Euros, I'd want more than a gig bag chucked in.
And "[i]Premium[/i]" fretwork? I'd expect decent fretwork on a bass that costs that much. I don't like implication that proper fretwork on a bass - any bass- is such a chore
Does that mean that their "normal" fretwork is a bit duff?

Is it just me or does anyone else think that the combination of fan-frets and headless being squared off behind the nut looks wrong? If the nut-end string retainer was custom-made surely it would have been possible to make one which matches the angle of the nut?

I personally don't think that it would look sympathetic to this particularly rotund design (which I dislike a lot - especially that jigsaw-piece-lug upper horn)... it would make perfect sense on a different, sleeker maybe angular design though.
