Looks nice, but the ones I've seen in person were very heavy.

As heavy as a maple Ripper?
Look about the same?
How do they sound as well. I also like the Koa body versions

Not as heavy as a Victory, but probably in the range of a maple Ripper. Can't remember much about the tone except that I couldn't figure out what all the switch and knob combinations did.

I used to lust after those basses! I remember looking at the ads in Guitar Player - one in particular with Scott Thunes, Frank Zappa's bassist at the time. Now I'm feeling all nostalgic...

Glad you made it over Harry, us fusionists have to stick together!
Uwe picks on us so in our odd meters

I liked Thunes too. I always wondered if this song was done on a Carvin:
Yeah, yeah it's Valley Girl - but that was a killer bassline, with snarling tone to match!

Old Carvins are cool. Theses are very Gibsonish, and they are a great deal for the money.
One of these days I would love to get the dimebag looking XP bass?
