Thanks! I think........

Yeah I know, probably one of the most talked about brands on the net of recent times, but has anyone here imported one into the country yet? I'm really considering importing one from Rondo as a workhorse, but am always a bit cautious about buying from abroad. Any opinions on SX/accounts of experiences with Rondo apreciated!

+1 for the 90s models - some of those were astounding. I've played Thumbs, Fortresses and Corvettes from that period (never got my hands on a Streamer though) and all were brilliant examples. Other than that, a lot of the top end models use really exotic woods and are usually neck thru hence the nasty price tag. If you are after one, and as with any other bass/g*****, try before you buy (and do a bit of hunting for an older model). It might be worth noting that when testing a few basses a couple of years back, I was scouting the 5ers in the $$ range (Corvettes), and although they were at the 'cheaper' end of the spectrum, they impressed me way more than any of the top end models, especially in the 'bang for buck' department. No pun intended.

Oh. No. GAS ATTACK......... P.S. Linky link?

I've tried a fair few, but only ever got on with a select number of thier necks. Some of them were just way to thick for me. It's a shame, cos I was GASing bad for a Vampyre 5, but just couldn't hack the neck.... Nice bass btw!

There are a range of cheapo Ps out there - Tanglewood, Squire, Johnson and Farida to name a few, but what you pay is what you get as they say. For 100 squids you could do a lot worse than a second hand Squire P. Try a few though out, see what suits you.
