I have played Statii for many years now. I love the balance, the curves, the shape and the fact that it needs tuning every other month.
I was playing a gig where the other bands bassist has a beautiful Ricky. I had been in awe of these basses, and he actually let me play it for a bit.
Horrible, ghastly, nasty. Sharp edges in all the places where I wanted to rest thumb and wrist. Suffered from head dive and it was soooo heavy. I was gald to give it back.
So I chuckled when I note how many of you also dislike them.
