They do sound wonderful though.

Who makes those strings? Is that a DR coated string?

I'm sure Gibson/Epiphone is ok with it. |

On topic, I like it but doubt the ergonomics would work for me. I'll likely never know.
And now, back to the *dislike-fest*

Doesn't mean it sounds any less awesome though. |

| That's why everyone has Fenders. People bashing their aesthetics have no foot to stand on.
That's a unique looking bass. I wouldn't be caught dead with of, but that's not my style. I like a subtler approach. Also, fanned frets niggle me. So I just go after basses I like, as opposed to ones I like less.
