dyerseve Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Surprised at the lack of interest so far. These may not be the best looking basses but in terms of sound, versatility and comfort they are in a league of their own. Im just not getting on with the string spacing compared to my broadneck Streamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I sold an orange one a few months ago, the price is good here - just couldn't shift it on Basschat and had to put on commission sale at a well known bass shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
