Has anybody here tried or bought one of these:

Up to date version of the rubber string short scale bass that started out the whole rubber string short scale bass thing. Looks prettier than the Kala SUB to me. No 5-string version though and no response to my email to the Bass Centre asking them if there would be one. I am very tempted.

Nicer looking than the two kidney version. You know the technology works. Reasonably priced too.

Tempted myself. What scale length to go for though?

Oooh, I like the red one! And the blue one! Argh.

Just had an answer to my query - won't be doing a low B 5-string as there are tension issues on the bottom string (Kala do one though, don't know if it's different strings). And all models are available as fretted or lined fretless.

And Merton, as they're different scale lengths, they're completely different basses, so you can buy one of each.

Yes indeed, hence my "argh" hehe

And one of each will still cost you less than just one of the Kala California basses. In fact, one of each of all four colours will cost you less than just one of the Kala California basses. Just think of the money you'd be saving.

Wonder if Bass Centre would give me a commission?

You certainly deserve it, a heroic sales pitch right there
