Wow, I like the body, but the pickguard and headstock are realy ugly, IMO.

This would have been perfect for The Banana Splits.

Cool in an ugly kind of way. I bet it sounds pretty mean.

I love the banna splits! My favorite was the lion with shades.

Also the bass looks like a Fender bastard. Like it was a slow day at the factory or something.

I really like most of the eastwood throwbacks, but this does nothing for me. I also have a hard time believing the ad where it says:

"When you A-B it with your P, it hits that space bang on with the neck, feel and hang, but with a vintage style and vibe that sets you apart from the rest of the crowd."

http://www.eastwoodguitars.com/Bass/...nebass_frm.htm

$429 for a bass with one jazz pup that's probably going to hum like a motha' from the getgo seems like a pretty bad idea.

Came in expecting a bass with a single coil at the bridge, split coil in the middle, and Tele bass humbucker at the neck. This is cool, too, I guess.

Eastwood's Thunderbird cop is darn cute, too - but I do hate those 3-point bridges.

I love the Stormbird and the Hurricane, but one color? Eastwood used to do a much better job at offering at least three basic colors in their inventory.

If they start offering these in other finishes, I'm in for one of each.
