I was thinking exactly the same

The skeleton bass looks cool, some of their other stuff troubles me....
"A new addition to the Skylark range and based on the famous Ricky 4000 style bass. Gorgeous looks and sleek maple neck. Great tonal range and lovely weight. A very nice bass indeed."

Hah. Sir...I eat pox for breakfast!

But seriously, I tried two that were in the Bass Centre a few years back and they lacked sustain because the body wasn't rigid enough. Yours may be completely different for all I know, though.

Nope, I'd say that's a fair assessment. But complaining about a Sinsonido's lack of sustain is like complaining about the fact that you can't fit your drumkit on the back of a bicycle. If you need something that you can fit on the back of a bicycle, then don't buy a drumkit. And if you need bags of sustain all the time, then don't buy a Sinsonido. I don't use mine in all situations, but it's definitely got a place in my life.

Getting back to the Skylark, I like that. I like that a lot.

So cool you could keep a side of beef in it for a week.

I draw your attention to the inlays on this Ace Frehley signature Les paul:



See? VERY similar.

"some of their other stuff troubles me...."

the "horn" on it looks like it's off an iceman.

I think even Gen would disagree there!

[derrenleepoole]

There are variations of guitars like this dotted all over eBay. This is a Roberts model:



In defence of the Sinsonido, it is a superb travel bass, but you'd never really use it for any other purpose in my experience..... The Roberts and Skylark look like they'd suffer serious neck dive due to the large headstocks and comparatively light bodies.

[hagguy]

theres some really good looking stuff on that site,
anyone actually tried any of the guitars or basses.
the gear all looks the part but might be crap for all
i know, going by the prices think the quality might be
on the low side

[tom1946]

It's unusual stuff, I tried a couple of products when I had my shop, you get what you pay for.

[bassmanAzz]

isnt the body of a bass used to resonate the sound? no body here! D:
