    Pros:
    • One of the only Leo designs I don't own
    • Cute a.f., nice living room bass
    • $350 (seems so cheap!)
    Cons:
    • colors: surf green or Olympic white/Laurel (prefer burst or walnut/maple)
    • I already have too many bass guitars
    • $350 (for something I don't need)
    I've talked myself out of it a few times already. I think if it came in burst I'd probably already have it.

    Anybody have one they love or hate? Not looking for performance level, just a fun toy around the house.

    Far be it for us to talk you out of a purchase, but what else could you do with $350?

    If you didn't get one when they were 350, maybe you should have. They went to 399, and are now at 429 in the US.

    At that price, there might be better options.

    My Squier CV Mustang? -Short scale, lightweight, slim fast neck, easy to play, simple controls, good Fender tones, string thru-body design and an interesting appearance with those small CV pups!! And with a decent amp or sound system IMO it's eminently gigable... -So what's not to like there? Paid the $429 for mine (inflation dontcha know; everything's gone up!) but this bass is worth every penny of it AFAIC!
    Enjoy,
