Machines Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Don't like the Butterscotch as much and don't like the Sonic Blue at all... how much are these Skyline versions anyway ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a lot for an Indonesian bass but you got to remember that it's only the production of the bodies and necks that is done in Indonesia. The hardware and fret dressing with Plek machine etc is all done in Chicago. I guess by the time they are actually on sale in UK they will be about the same number of £.

That will be why the Decade is attractive to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 It's that cooker that's getting me hot under the collar. Think of how many pots and pans you can have on the go ! It also seems to have an Ashdown style VU meter . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
