You know you want it just because it looks so cool! But this bass also delivers the sound that's more versatile than you would expect. I spend a lot of time making sure basses like this are structurally sound and this one has a perfect neck-set. Finished in burgundy with a laminated maple body and f-holes with binding and a maple neck with rosewood fretboard that's also bound. The 2 pickups have a great Wyman-esque tone with just the right amount of top end that cuts through without sounding nasal or tinny. This is a FUN bass! Jurt look at that cool tortoise pickguard. There is some heavy vertical finish checking on the top but the finish is intact and quite stable. It's a short-scale (30 1/2") and weighs just 6 lbs, I've even put this bass in a Warwick Deluxe Rock Bag because it's truly worthy!
