Willows Spunky Standard

Here's a little introduction of Willows Spunky Standard to you guys!

But first of all I would like to apologize for the low-quality pictures, as I don't invest in nice cameras :'( So cellphone pictures will do for now.

Oh and I don't have soundclips either, so unfortunately I won't be able to provide you with them. I just gotta say this bass sounds a lot better (totally imo) than a lot of basses that have twice the price tag.

It has one-piece maple neck & swamp ash body. Pickups are Kent Armstrong Jazz, Hipshot tuners and Gotoh bridge.

Feel free to ask me any questions, I'll happily answer any questions that I can answer.

Man, I wish I could find a way to try one of those out! Here's a clip of this girl gettin' seriously funky on one!

YouTube - Willows' Spunky Standard Bass Demonstration (by Yoon Ju)

I should ask Ryu (the owner of the shop) to get a booth at the next NAMM show, so the folks in NA can try their basses/guitars out. So far, they've only showcased their products in Asia - mainly in Korea and China. I guess it's not that easy for a small shop to get across the Pacific Ocean for NAMM :( Bummer.
 
you're kidding?
Can you get hold of a full price list for me?
They look fantastic, and I assumed they'd be high end prices as well as looks/sound and (hopefully) quality.
Cheers

The Standard Series models are very cheap for what they are. Not saying others aren't, but if you are looking at the Royal, it's gonna set you back about $2500 USD. The cheapest one (the one in the video) is only about $580.

Now, there are some folks who got theirs via shipping overseas, but I got one locally. You can go to http://www.willowsguitar.com for more info, but the website isn't in English.

Edit: I know the Royals used to go around that price range, but now it says call for price. I guess they raised the price up a bit?
