Texas Jazz?

Has anyone heard of an instrument brand called Texas (other than Texas Instruments AKA TI)?

I saw a jazz bass for sale (though it might be gone now), but can't find anything on them. I think it's just a cheap Fender copy, but it got me curious?

Here's a pic from tinterweb...

When I read the thread title my first reaction was 'shout YEEHAH before playing a random pile of notes'... ;)

It's actually a US based custom build shop, although I've never seen any of their gear over here.

Not sure they're the same, the Texascustoms ones look quite decent, that one above has a different logo, different headstock too. No Texas state icon after the logo either.

Have to admit I didn't look at it too closely, but yes, the custom ones have a little map after the Texas logo.
Maybe they're doing a Fender\Squier thing? :)

Texas Customs aren't the same. The one I've seen just has Texas on the headstock that's shaped more SX rather than Fender (almost identical to the one in the pic). Though the one I've seen does have decent looking tuners.

I just checked out their stuff. The sound clips sound like 8bit lift music played underwater in next door's pool. Not a great way to sell a musical instrument...

It takes a lot of skill to be able to create that sound... :D

I manage to make that sound most Friday or Saturday evenings in front of an appreciative crowd, so I must be skilled... ;)
