I remember the bass player in the Guess Who using one on tv in the later 60’s . The shape always stuck with me . I’d look them up on the internet every once in a while , but I wasn’t up to an order from Japan . A friend in the States had one , and sold it . And said he regretted selling , described it as something like a Jazz bass on steroids .
And then one popped up on a forum in Toronto and I decided it was about that time .
It’s a mid weight , not heavy . Comfortable on a strap , well balanced . Nice neck , sounds good . I like it .
If it was 30 inches I’d be using it a lot more …
