Those were a couple of items I was really jazzed to see, but this tiny Escape Bass really caught my attention too.
Recently there was a post about traveling with a bass and these look like a handy tool for someone who wants/needs to take something, but can't afford the space.
Although you wouldn't necessarily want to gig with one of these it appears that you probably could in a pinch.
If anyone has actually played one of these through an amp please let us know what you thought of it.
Here's some info I copied off their site:

I took three pics at the fair and you can get a good idea how small the thing is in the pic with my hand holding it if you go to:
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/gakkis.../ph//my_photos The body is constructed from beautiful mahogany satin-stained alder. The guitar’s neck consists of premium maple with a Rosewood fretboard. The Traveler Guitar Escape Bass has a full-sized playing surface, despite its compact dimensions (includes rugged gig bag and headphones.) The Escape Bass is a definite necessity for all bass players.
