I don't know about the hybrids, but I have an Eastman fully carved bass, it's great.

Eastman Hybrids

Eastman hybrid bases enjoy a lot of popularity here in California, particularly the VB 125 Busetto models. Get in touch with Eastman on Monday morning for the location of a dealer within driving distance.

Let us know how it turns out!

I have a Eastman Hybrid that I bought new for around $2200. It's a good bass for the money.
