So your guitarist looks at your new bass and asks: "What is it?".

And you reply: "It's a [color=#333333][font=Calibri, sans-serif][size=4]Maelstrom Black Belemnite Concept Symetry Bass Guitar.".[/size][/font][/color]

And then proceed to the last step outlined above....

I assume it is aimed at those who haven't figured whether they play left or right handed yet......I am sure it won't have a rather limited market then!

It is clearly aimed at "smaller people who want awesome sustain and power"

However, at that price I can buy four Gretsch Electromatic G2220 Junior Jet II's which are also suitable for smaller people who want awesome sustain and power at an affordable price.

You say "this handmade British Bass cost me nearly a grand mate". He says "Why does it have a Made in China stamp on the neck". You break into the riff for "Going Japanese" to hide your embarrassment....
