I have, and I'm afraid to say it was rotten. I'm fairly sure they're not all stinkers... I think I was just unlucky.

This one had a G string that was 37,000 times louder than the others. it was weird.

It looked gorgeous, though.

I tried one of the special edition '64 relics with the Brazilian rosewood 'board about a year back. It cost around £2.2K and when I left the shop, thought about it and decided to buy it, it had gone. They got me an identical replacement and it wasn't the same. Felt totally different and the electrics didn't cut it. Picking up the Mexi Roadworn (which I was biased against), this guitar felt better, played better and sounded better that it's £2K+ brother. That said. I've just gotten a CS stackpot JAzz and it's one of the best things I've ever played.

odd, how they differ.........

I think I tried the same one that WoT tried and I agree there was something sadly amiss with the G string output; added to which I like a lower action than WoT :) and I'd expect a bass costing that much to set up well without shimming but that is what I'd have had to do to get it to work for me!
