Wrong on soooo many levels

[warwickhunt]

It's a cheap piece of cr*p at a high price tag.
It's a horrendous copy of a bass only a mother could love (sorry Status, Warwick & Entwhistle fans).
The logo looks like it should be Westone.
It's custom made in Russia but you are paying someone in the USA.
The case is an optional extra that is made to order.
... I could go on but you decide; is it just wrong or will you be ordering one?

It looks like a cartoon monster has taken a huge bite out of the back of it

I like the idea of selling it by telling people it was the Soviet Unions favorate workshop like that is a mark of quality.

*Russian accent* "I make good bass for you, yes?"

Looks like something they knocked out of a chinese factory for a tenner. And who else HASN'T heard of the brand "russtone"?

Russell Brand's signature bass

Awful!

How long before Warwick put a stop to Russtone making this (as they did with Status)???

Somewhere there's an eBay dictionary where the definition of "Prototype" is "ugly POS".

The only thing that stops it looking [i]exactly[/i] like that is the multi-part neck. I'll go for "knocked out of a Chinese factory for £12.50".

Anyone else think this has a distinct whiff of the DC Montanas about it? :ph34r:
