I recently saw and played this totally awesome guitar at Bill's in Maryland. This bass has 22 frets and 4 strings. This bass comes in pink, baby blue, or bright yellow. It has a basswood solid body and a maple neck giving it that hard speedy sound. There are two knobs, one for volume and the other for tone. There is only 1 humbucker in the bridge position, I dont know what pickup it is but it is hott! And it gives off some power. The body is shaped like a flower. There is no whammy bar, just a fixed bridge. This guitar can coming in a 20" or 24 3/4 scale. THe neck feels nice, not like a tree trunk or insanely thin(Which would be nice though).
Sound

I play Blues/Hard Rock/Heavy Metal and it suits it well. I used it with a Peavy combo and it gave off good tone. If you werent looking at it, you probably could tell the difference between it and a Fender Jazz Bass. the bass has 2 sounds, tone and no-tone. The sound has a warm feel to it. It would be a great guitar to play a joke on a crowd with. But it is hard to play while sitting down.
Action, Fit, & Finish

The bass was set up perfect and the guitar is verfy playable. The pickup was just as far away from the strings that it gives good sound but does rubb agians them. The bass had no finish marks or fret damage as I saw. But the basswood and Maple neck give it that in your face sound.
Reliability/Durability

ss if taken care of could probably last forever. The hardware was very sturdy and was comfterable for a experienced musician as myself. The finish appeared good enough to last for a lifetime. Every piece was straped on tight. Id use this as a great gag/showoff guitar.

Ive been playing for 2 years(Im more experienced than most guitarists that have been playing for this long.) I currently have in my possesion a Les Paul Standard, and a Cheap Yamaha EG112 Strat look alike(my first one). Also, a Laney GH100L Head with a Marshall 1960B Cab. I like the irony of the guitar... playing Bluesy Metal on a Pink Flower Bass. This guitar will hold up just as well as a Fender Jazz Bass. I wish it has a Floyd ROse tremolo through, that would rule... also, its not a neck through. It could be a real shredder bass. BUt it rules anyway.
