Members TheGZeus,OnFire Posted March 25, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 25, 2006 I was blown away by what's on their site. It just kicks all ass.Form AND function AND it makes the crazy. THEN I saw the prices and decided I needed one.It was like "Wow. I'd be very willing to pay that."Hell, I'm PISSED at how much my Jazzmaster cost!My Universe was like "Well, it's $400 of cosmetics, so it's a fair price."My DeArmond Starfire Bass was a steal.My Peavey Limited was a steal. My BC Rich Bich VI(I tune it how I want, I call it what I want. Can't wait until I put the second PU and EQ in it) was and will be on par for what I get. These are about 20% less than what I woulld expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is reasonable for the product.It's just not affordable to you. Save the money and it's affordable. The price for the options and standard features(including place of manufacture) is very reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
