I'd be much more impressed with a wood body and no three-point.

(initial instant reaction) Ooooh... cool... ice cool...

A closer look and... the layout of the pots just jars - off-setting them would be more aesthetically pleasing, but as they are...

The sound would be the most important thing to know at present...

Does anyone seriously believe that solid plastic body basses and guitars sound as good as wood ones? They're novelties, they function all right, and they're neat looking if you like that sort of thing. I doubt you can expect more than that.

I tend to view things like this as a gimmick. This would be an expensive gimmick IMO.

 My luck if I bought the thing as I played it onstage it would hike my skirt up and expose my whohaw for everyone too see..............

That's gotta be at least $10.00 worh of Plexi they got there. Not a fan of those pups either.
