Joe dart .. Ernie ball jazz !

I never for a second doubted they'd sell them all, though it took less time than I thought. Maybe a week was my original idea.

All gone in less than 24 hours is quite something.

I had momentarily wondered what the split between players, collectors and trade/retail might look like. I reckon you've probably got it about right...

...
many of which I bet end up as collector's closet queens?

...
collectors and Dentists will likely be most of the owners

I just read that EBMM is going to cede product development to a consortium of Talk Bass members. There first product will be a bass made completely of Warmoth parts. It will be a Joe Shmoe tribute model with 15 (very nice) disconnected knobs. They’re instituting a very clever marketing strategy of paying the buyers $1000 to take them. They will saturate the market and bring Zender to its knees!

Not until they wring a few more bucks out of these!
 
Hopefully this ushers in the return of passive basses....and maybe the Caprice and Cutlass will come back.

I was thinking about that. I feel like this bass compliments my Cutlass perfectly. Cutlass is a warm wooly sweater and the dart is your birthday suit hahaha.
