I doubt they're sh*te!! But, I'd be interested to know too as I'd like a backup 5. I kind of like the weird looks, but am thinking there might be better options for me for the money.

from the youtube vids they sound pretty nice though i'm not sold entirely on the looks and that headstock i fugly

[kevvo66]

Agreed I'll look at other options ,cheers

Probably just not that common, rather than sh*te

I bought a 4 string from bass direct when they were being trialled for interest at the London bass guitar show 3 years ago. It was an interesting beast. Single cut, mm and j pickup. Mm sounded really hot, Jazz was meh, preamp was good. Assymmetrical neck. Quality woods. Fairly lightweight. Played amazingly. Finish was a tad ropey.

It was a good bass. Wasn't keen on the double cut 5 strings they had at the time. As I wanted an MM pickup and I didn't like the Jazz pickups.
