Members mielkea Posted November 22, 2007 Members Share Posted November 22, 2007 These seem pretty cool... at least I'm digging them. The pickups are supposedly pretty great, and I dig the knobs too...

Members L-1329 Posted November 22, 2007 Members Share Posted November 22, 2007 Those look like a Reverend Rumblefish knocked up a Bongo. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 82Daion Posted November 22, 2007 Members Share Posted November 22, 2007 From what I've heard, they play well and have a really good tone, but the balance makes them unplayable. I know of two people who bought them. Both sent them back for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NeonVomit Posted November 22, 2007 Members Share Posted November 22, 2007 Really? Shame. That's a really interesting design and Lace sensors are good pickups. If they fix the balance they'd be onto a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fealach Posted November 22, 2007 Members Share Posted November 22, 2007 Don't suppose anyone knows if those pickups are the available separately, or if they're in fact the same as the guitar pickup that is sold? I too have heard these basses sound good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
