The price of those on Reverb are a bit of a bargain when you look at the list prices. I wonder which factory in S. Korea makes them, my experience on basses made in that country ( Spector and Peerless) is that they are of excellent quality.
Great basses, presumably this will be one of those made by Peerless in Korea? The quality of their instruments is superb, my JC is one sold under their own name.
17mm is getting a bit close, it was the string spacing put me off an Ibanez when I bought my last 5 string, I was replacing a Jazz V and was happy with a bit more space. I’m not sure I’m ready for multi scale yet, but never say never.
They are certainly a bit different. The fanned fretboard in your photo makes it look like a twisted neck ( which I’m sure it isn’t ) just a weird optical illusion.
Enjoy it, it’s a bold move, one day we may all be playing something similar.
