Hey NUTT did you try that synth out? I have a mind to drive down and give that thing a go.

I've had dealings with this 'Music-Outlet-Shop' which were not good. The guy took the money and I got nothing back till I prompted him by email. He said I didn't specify the color of the item I ordered. My Paypal record shows I did. He then emailed me with abusive emails, but sent me the item. However, it was obvious that if I hadn't hassled him he'd have kept my money and done nothing.
Also, if you check his prices, he's consistently about 30% over market.
YMMV, but just a 'heads up'.

I've tried those synth basses before NUTT...my uncle has had one. It's really weird-it will twist your mind I'm telling you. And sounds like crap too.
The only cool thing about it is the novelty of it, ya know...but for a $1000? Nah I'll pass.

A stick with strings. Light? or telephone-pole heavy? Take it to the Highland Games for a nice Caiber toss. Might be almost as obnoxious as bagpipes.

Actually I have been very interested in these instruments and have even been in contact with the maker, Jessie Blue, who used to work for Warrior. Here is the website. I like his attitude and they seem to be a worthwhile alternative to the $3000+ NS EUBs. Looks like the winning bidder got a good deal.
I had intended to purchase one this year but my finances haven't allowed it. But I will get one eventually.

But, haven't I seen that SOMEWHERE ELSE ?
PS - my apologies for non-bass-related content.

A "protoype" bass...
http://cgi.ebay.com/6-String-Fretless-Cu...1QQcmdZViewItem
Just one that no manufacturer will claim. And look what they did to the A string:
That's tuning stability, huh?

That is an odd duck, Dan-Z.
The body looks well made (if perhaps a bit off-balance), a fair amount of technique and technology went into that; the electronics appear to be an afterthought, and the pick-ups themselves are crooked; and the bridge looks mounted with equal parts disdain and deck hardware (I love the single bolt that protrudes from the back, especially.)
But the tied A string is almost... endearing. Like a ragged ear on an ugly but appealing dog.
Just my mood, maybe.
Peace,
wraub

Wraub- nice to know you have a soft spot in there. What do you think about the foot-long strap buttons on it?

that's what that bolt through the back is for...
It's actually planned. Scarier all the time.
