That, but mostly the look of the binding. I was not tempted to try it out.

If I were in a metal band, I'd probably feel differently. But maybe I'd opt for the well lower priced Epiphone Nikki Sixx bass!

I think the Shadow looks a little better

I think so too but the binding looks the same. It's noticeable from some distance, when a Fireglo w/CB from 20 feet looks like plain white binding.

Owning both a Shadow and a Blackstar I somehow feel I should own one of these too. But not at current price and probably not at current neck-width. ;-)
