I have one, search on Spear GAS for my old thread.

The idea of single cut is pretty simple. You get a stiffer neck and certainly my Spear vibrates like a rampant rabbit. Growltastic.

Spear have also really skewed the top bout so placing your hand is really natural finger style.

I suspect mine is an early one as the blue Bay picutre lacks the 'mute' switch. Spear are also doing a trans red, blonde and nautral finish.

I came so close to buying a Streamline, gorgeous. As for any other single cut basses, I would rather see my granny naked, and she's been under ground for thirty years.

thats one of the nicest singlecut designs i've seen, but then, apart from maybe the shuker singlecut, i dont like singlecuts.

by singlecut, im excluding things like telecasters and les pauls, you know the sort i mean.

[quote name='Golchen' post='414750' date='Feb 19 2009, 08:59 PM']I totally can't cope with single cut basses. They are just disturbing, like seeing your granny naked.

They remind me of hippos I think.

I tried a spear singlecut, it did feel a little lumpy in the body, but it also played very nicely and had a huge growly sound, very nice for the price!

Yes, but you have to say that ;)

Why do Warwick need to do a competiotion and take such a long tim ..
I'm not keen on the OP bass but Dood's Shuker "The Doodle" is a great shape. I think it would be just as fab as a 4 or 5
