This just showed up on the Rondo website. Described as a one-of-a-kind prototype:

Interesting. I've seen several of these one-off singlecuts show up over the past year or so. I'm wondering when they're going to make a standard singlecut model.
The string spacing is too tight for me, but at $335, it's a ridiculously good deal.

Agreed. Generally, I'm not a fan of single-cuts, but this one actually looks intriguing to me. And at that price...
I hate to say this but this bass, at least to me, is how a single cut should look.
I typically don't like single-cuts, but I don't hate this. Looks kinda like a Fodera SC.
I need another 5 string like a hole in the head, but I really like this bass. Unfortunately, I've been saving my pennies to satisfy my GAS with the Brice fanned fret model. I mean, a single cut bass is pretentious, but a fanned fret is even MORE pretentious. What I need to find is a single cut fanned fret prototype. The ultimate in pretentiousness.
Agreed; most single-cuts I've seen make me think their pet name should be something like "Lumpy the Whale," but this one is oddly attractive.
In about a year or so they will release a six string single cut.
And I will be there.
And I will be there.

Wouldn't think you'd have long to wait for that. The Harley Bentons from Thomann have announced a single cut.
fan fret fiver.No reason Rondo won't.

Nice:
Sure looks like it came off the same assembly line as that Brice single-cut, except for the angled pickups and a few other details.
I'd wager that it did.....
Anyhoo, its a sharp looking bass....the only thing that (visually) looks budget to me are the pickups......but for that price it'd would be worth checking out if I had the scratch

OMG, that is AWESOME! Somebody buy one quick, and tell us how it is!
I have had two Brice basses.. a fretless 5 and a 6. Not bad basses but the 6 was just too heavy for me..
