Apparently First Act has a Custom Shop, and uses cheapo instruments like the one above to act as overhead, so they can do pretty much whatever they want with their custom stuff.
I have one of the Custom Shop pieces, and it's actually an AMAZING instrument. Sadly, it looks like they have a few instruments left to blow out and the custom shop is done.

In a blind listening test, the only people who would prefer a two-string First Act over a Squier are the cork sniffers.

They really can do some cool looking stuff like this:


On the guitar side of things, I like John Baizley's First Act a LOT:


I just don't understand why they played both extremes and never ventured into mid-range instruments. I bet they'd make way more money if instead of running a custom shop they took some of that expertise and sold $500-$1200 basses/guitars as well.

Bass.....what bass...

No, I'd say this is one of the best eBay ads for a bass I've seen in a while. Is there a bass there? I don't remember.... Hope the mods don't kill me for this. It is on eBay after all.

At least she looks good compared to the Mothman Bass's "model". Still, probably paid his sister $20 to pose, like most guys who post pics like this do.

I'm actually really intrigued by the construction-yellow tube amp in the first picture. It sort of looks like a three-way hybrid between an Ampeg fliptop, a radiator, and a Caterpillar tractor. What *is* that thing?

These ads are a dime a dozen. Search "Fender Coronado". There were some amp dust cover ads on there before with some half-naked chicks.

I think this First Act bass was Fodera's first prototype. LOL!
