How long do we give it before a certain poster pops up with yet another account name claiming to have bought one and raving about it?

Hutch hutchinson was playing a candy red bass that might have been one of these at the bonnie raitt gig in glasgow last month. I thought it might have been a jaguar but there's not much between the shapes.

Yeuch, Bassocaster. Hideous. IMO. But then I play Bongos and Steinbergers so what do I know about style?

Actually I quite like the look, and its a 30" scale. Now if only it was a fiver and considerably cheaper.

Yup. And I own a Streamline, NS upright and a Purple Yamaha.
Which all together aren't worth £7k, so I guess I'm in the same boat....

[LukeFRC]

everyone copies fender... so they got their own back by making their very own... burns?

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Nice bass, stupid name(rascal ffs!)

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

[grumble]

Shame, saw the pic and thought 'At last a Fender I like the look of'
Then clicked the link and saw the price.

Bumping up this thread because I spied this today (apologies if it's been brought up before - I had a quick search and couldn't find anything!)

Initial response was, not the best looking bass but for a budget offering not too bad, then I saw the price and nearly soiled myself!

I stumbled on these a few days ago. Personally I love the look of it, but as discussed, everyone has different style.
A note on the price. GAK has one for a out £600

Took the words out of my mouth. Love the finish, love the wavy hardware. Thomann have also listed these (assuming a Mexican version) at c.£600 in the last few days.

ESP Japan do a similar bass in long scale called the Bass IV:



It's only ¥400,000…
