Lfalex v1.1 Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) Er... Not a [i]real[/i] one. Only a Korean one. I liked it. It was thrown in "on spec" as a stalking horse when trying to purchase a Fender Jazz some years ago at the (Wapping) Bass Centre. I got through about 25 Jazzes, and didn't really like any. The Burns was better than most in terms of sound. Feel was different, due to the painted neck. I didn't like the aesthetic of the one I played; White and Gold Hardware (yuck.) Would've preferred a Black/Silver item- I might've bought one, then! Good variety of sounds from 3 pick-ups. Even the "Wild Dog" setting is useable! Edit- I am an Aries. Does that make my opinion valid in an ovine sense?? Edited May 21, 2007 by Lfalex v1.1 Quote

12stringbassist Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) My white and gold model doesn't look cheap - and it growls like my Rickenbackers don't. Long reach for left hand. Great to play apart from that. Needs an extra long hard case. Weighty. Worth the effort, though. Edited April 7, 2012 by 12stringbassist Quote
