I've got one of these--my guitar player has a shop in Ft. Myers, Florida & when he first got one in a couple of years ago he called me because he knows I like the odd ones. I bought it & took it home & realized that it that the pickups had some issues--he sent it back, & got another that looked like it should have been a second or a third, at best. A misplaced side dot (how would that have happened $$) was covered over with opaque stain, plus a few other cosmetic issues) and it had a pickup selector toggle and a master volume & tone instead of the two volume pots & tone on the production basses--not a big thing, but it was not what I wanted. This one sounded & played great, but it should have been maybe used as a demo & not for retail sale as a factory new bass. That one went back & the next one that came in had at one of the fret positions a crescent of maple and rosewood board had been grafted in, apparently to fix some damage before it left the factory and some other cosmetic issues that should have also made this a second or third. That one never got sent back, but my guitarist got in another one that was perfect. However, by this time I was frustrated & got my money back. About a year later, I got a really great deal on the imperfect one that didn't get sent back. I use it frequently because it is light weight, it plays & sounds great as well. The rest of the band loves its sound & the way it sits in the mix. The neck on mine is not excessively wide--not as wide as a Precision--it is very comfortable to me.
If they could have gotten their quality control & consistency together, they would have had a winner IMHO. The pickups are great.
