I watch a YT video with the Motown model couple of weeks back.

Sounded brilliant

It does look great, and it's a really good demo video. There are some lovely sounds there too. Admittedly I've only listened on my phone, but from that video I'd be slightly concerned that you couldn't get a pure smooth bass tone from it. Even with fingers, flats and neck pickup, there seems to be an inherent 'clicky' brightness with every setting.
As I say though, many lovely tones that would be perfect for a variety of styles.

Very nice.

Yes, I've got a Star bass that I bought from Greene King. I don't have any pictures of it, but the forsale thread is here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/217359-sold-duesenberg-star-bass . I put some Status half-rounds on it and it sounds formidable. Definitely no clickly brightness with the neck pickup and the tone rolled off.

I played this one at a local shop, lovely warm not mushy sound:

Recently saw this and instant GAS ensued. I've been dreaming of something like this for years, although having seen the price tag a dream it shall remain. Gorgeous...

Sorry guys it just reminds of the awful 60s Italian made basses that look as though they are designed by an accordion maker. The paint job belongs on a souped up Ford Escort!

The Duesenberg Motown looks/sounds awesome.
