    There is one "For Trade" in the Classifieds, but Im sure he would sell it for a price.

    Bass NW had a pair of these a few months ago. They sound really phat and vintagey, and they look nice too. Because of the pickup placement, they have a lot of bottom but not a lot of punch. If you buy one, make sure you get the passive version - it sounds WAY better.

    They sound strange. Very unlike anything I've heard. They have one at Bass Club Chicago and at Chicago Music Exchange.

    they're amazing. my dream bass, honestly.
    the neck pup is a bit like a P, and the bridge pup has a burpy Jazz thing going, but neither are spot on. they're both their own thing.
    it must be played to be believed.
     
  14. Jive Sound has one that's been plek'd so if your seriously thinking about grabbing one you might want to head up there. I dunno how far Arlington is from VA Beach though, lol. Personally, I'd never own one though. Just not my style.

    It's a few hours of avoiding VA state police. I'd only make the drive if I was taking a vacation to DC. Lakland has soundclips on their site but they are for the dark starred Decade not the chi-sonic version.
