Good price for a quality Bass VI-type. Eastwoods always look nice to me. That Mosrite shape would keep me away from it, though.

Not always crazy about the Mosrite style either, but I kind of like that body contour on the front.

i had afirst run eastwood hi flyer copy.  was actually long scale.  Neck dive as bad as the Casady bass.  But the bass played great and very hot single coil pickups.  was a really nice bass.  the new hiflyers are short scale.

I'm a fan of many older body styles, so the Mosrite-clone look is a plus for me.  I also like the extra body contour on the front.

the extra contour looks like one bass sinking into another. not a good look imo.
