Basvarken:
They have some pretty cool looking basses over at Muse Inc
I wonder if they're any good.
And what price they retail for.
Dave W:
Looks to me like a wholesaler from Korea. There's a quotation form that looks like it's for businesses only.
Basvarken:
I did some googling and I found out the brand is called Alden. It's a collaboration between an English guy called Entwistle and a Korean/Chinese factory.
I found this bass from the same brand on a Norwegian website (www.intersalg.no)

I'll have to say that is pretty cool looking. Nice combination of fetures and design. Wonder how it sounds and the actual body dimensions.
Yairi in Japan has had several really cool looking basses that had an upright if not slightly too trbly egdy sound but the body dimensions were slightly comical(huge).
PhilT:
Alden have been on eBay for a while. Certainly cheap, especially as they're selling from Germany.
