Surprised at the lack of interest so far. These may not be the best looking basses but in terms of sound, versatility and comfort they are in a league of their own.

Im just not getting on with the string spacing compared to my broadneck Streamer.

I sold an orange one a few months ago, the price is good here - just couldn't shift it on Basschat and had to put on commission sale at a well known bass shop.
