My mate Tim owns the local music shop and carries the Duesenberg basses but I have to admit I have never tried one.

I haven't played one, but they had good reviews in bass magazines.

That's hideous (IMHO of course). It's sort of like a Fender JP-90 only even uglier.

I actually don't mind that retro look ..... kind of a cross between a Reverend and a Charvel Surfcaster. However, $2000 is WAY too much.

I just resent the whole made up brand. It reminds me of Kawasaki Guitars years back, nothing to do with Kawasaki, just a name.

Why not a Bugatti bass?

You can argue about the name, but Duesenberg makes great, high quality guitars and basses and in Europe you see a lot of pro's playing them.

The name doesn't bother me. The styling of this particular model would keep me from ever considering it.
