    ooooooooo!!! 8O ... ... speechless? stunned? ... oh yes! such super smoothness 8-)

    Very nice axe nice too! ... has to have one of the deepest cutaways since the longhorn! (and undoubtedly deeper!) ... I wonder what the spec was - "give me the longest bassguitar fretboard in history and the body design to reach it all?


    Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!

    SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
    TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
    EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
    ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
    GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)

    It's his signature model- the Hyperbass by Zon.

    I will endeavour to find the specs for us all...

    It can't be any good. Doesn't even stay in tune properly.

    Yeah Gav, I laughed when I heard him say that.

    3 Octave neck 8O

    Of course if you don't have an expensive car to sell you can always Spec it down.
