AndyTravis Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Just a thought if anyone wants one and is on a budget...this popped up on eBay. Quote

Haven't seen one in any shops yet and there's only a few clips on YouTube so far. Another month I guess before it gets out. Maybe. Quote
BassApprentice Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Been wondering about this bass recently so dropped GuitarGuitar an email. They are on order and should be in stock in August - looking forward to seeing if its worth the money. Edited June 7, 2019 by BassApprentice Quote

I can't remember his name off hand but the bass guy in Glasgow knows his stuff and seems to have done some good negotiating to get the too brands to the store. Gone are the days of a single bass wall of Fenders and Ibanez! Quote

BassApprentice Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) So nipped in to GuitarGuitar to give it a whirl. This bass is LOUD. 18V Active circuit and a simple bass treble control gives you loads of bass but not quite as much treble as I would have thought. Didn't get that MusicMan style treble I imagined but still nice. Couldn't give it a proper test as I was using a Rumble 50 while a kid picking out his first bass got the Markbass 2x10 and 1x15 rig😂 Fit and finish - feels like any other high end fender. Nice, I did notice a wee chip at the pickup rout and I would worry how easily damaged the matt finish could be out in the real world. Looks cool as though if pink is your thing, hopefully the pictures show the differences. It is more pink than the road worn Mexican one. I compared them and I would say the worn neck on the Mexican one feels nicer but still similar. If you like a humbucker but want a jazz bass and have £1500 ready I'd say this is a good shout.

Still gassing for one if these in silver. Anyone buy/sell love/hate one in the last few years? Neck looks a bit chunky but compound radius would be nice Quote
