So far i think i like them a lot but have not had enough time to really make up my mind. Anyone have experience with these basses? i am wondering if i paid too much, but i had a hard time finding info on them. Seem to have comfortable necks, and good electronics.

tell me your thoughts!:bassist::hyper:
 
Nice basses dude. I think the Artist was a little overpriced. Im assuming the extra cost might be justified in the upgraded Nordstrand electronics. The Growler's posting was expired in the link you had listed, so I couldn't see any info. I've played Growler 5's before and they're great! Which bass do you like better?
