One of these was my first 5 string - superb bass. I just found the body shape wasn't to my taste.

A bit like buses, none for ages and then 2 at once.

Definitely! Must admit to being very tempted...

Certainly looks it. The neck worried me. The "bend" appears to be at the nut end of the neck and not in the middle as you would expect for a quick adjust of the truss rod.
It may come out with a bit of patience and an allen key. On the other hand......
Mind you it would be a stunning bass with a Graphite Neck....

Just got the last one. Thanks for the Heads Up. Apparently they are now discontinued.
