Any idea where I could get one after this one is gone? Think I could use a bow with it?
Sorry, I didn't see it displayed the first couple of times I read through but it's made by titan.

Made in China, sold under a variety of "brand names", mostly a novelty. They are on Ebay almost every day, so there's no need to rush and buy this one. Some of the companies selling those have horrible feedback; this company is not too bad by comparison. Here are their negs:

Hey Madness, I picked one up about a year and a half ago. I had to lower the action considerably by shaving down the bridge on both ends. Plus I changed the stock strings with some good ones, but I have been playing it ever since in a classic rock group (only about 1/4 of the tunes, mixing it up in the show, but very cool for like Stray Cat Strut, Love Shack, etc., tunes where it fits) and I have really enjoyed playing it.

Very smooth to play, always stays in tune, very versatile tone adjustments and I always get good comments all the time from curious fans. Outside of having had to tweak it when it first came in, I put it on the plus side. It's a novelty for sure, but it'll get you remembered outside of the norm. It's definitely become part of my niche.

BTW, I'm not sure of the Titan company, mine is a Sojing brand direct from China from a dealer in Texas.

If you ever get a call to do a gig with George Jetson, you're all set.
