Just saw this...pretty cool. Hopefully, they can keep this one around a little longer than the last time they had a MM copy...

I thought that Rondo was sent a cease and desist letter to prevent them from selling MM copies in the US.

That's the first thing I thought. I'm gonna guess the fur will be flying a little later in this thread.

Next thing I thought was, "Darkstar project!"

Surely there must be SOMETHING to keep Rondo from getting in heaps of trouble from this...

Although as far as I can tell, there isn't. Unless they got a license from EBMM, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

Argh, I just spent my bass money on a used Squier P

Holy cow, I've been pondering a MM copy as a backup to the ATK, this is an amazing deal if the thing is halfway decent! Thanks for the post!

Can't say I'd blame Mr. Ball for going after them

I've always hated Stingray copies. It's just not the same. For some reason they look... wrong.

 

[Figjam]

Uh oh. They already had to apologize to ebmm once.

Yeah sure, it looks like an ebmm, but if you look carefully this bass is passive so it's not even close. Yeah it looks good, I almost bought it this morning, but it's not what your looking for if what you want is an instrument that looks and SOUNDS, similar to the real thing.

I find it strange that people love the design so much yet show no respect at all for the guy that developed it. If you truely love the MM design how could you feel right about buying an un-licensed, imported clone??

Would adding an Aggie preamp theoretically bring the sound much closer?

Same way I feel right about buying generic meds. The R&D is not my concern.

I also drive a Japanese car.

Uh oh, someone started questioning morals. This thread is going downhill.
