Great basses these. I bought one off eBay about six months ago. As others have said, they balance well, sound good and play nicely. I suppose they are a bit marmite because of the shape, but I've always had a bit of a weakness for an ugly duckling. I have to say, full credit to Adam Clayton for not just going for another Fender signature...even though he's done a Fender signature since...and a streamer signature....ermmmm...GLWTS Karl.....;0)
