I see the Rascal is now at MF. That will get it more notice, if nothing else. I'd like to see it sell well since it's something excellent as well as different. But if it doesn't, well, I've got mine.  :)

I agree Dave.  I like mine a lot.   It's a keeper.

Played it again at practice last night.  It's a great sounding/playing bass.  I think it and the ThunderJet will get all of the action at our gig on Saturday.

I LOVE the Rascal bass...I hope it's a home-run for them.

New review from Premier Guitar --  nice video review included.

I wish someone would do these video reviews with broken-in strings. All I hear is "new strings sound".

I'm sure that with a nice set of 2-months old TI's this bass will sound awesome.

I got some pretty good mellow sound out of that review even with new strings (not my preference either).  Maybe I'll sell a couple more basses and wait for a used Rascal to come around.  I love the look and the color.

I thought it sounded fine with those strings too. But I'll bet LaBella DTB flats with a pick would sound awesome. I really dislike the midrangy blur of TIs.

Me and the Rascal did a fine job Saturday night..........Sounded really good and I didn't think the strings were too bright at all.  I played it mostly with the toggle in the middle position.  Sounded great to me.  That body is a nice size and balances perfectly.  Gray rock is alive and well!!!!!

You're having a good time, aren't you!

My favorite is the neck and middle combined.

You're looking good, Bill! 

And that bass looks like it was MADE for surf music....!  8)

Thanks Al, I am feeling good.  Still getting normal test results after 3 years.  Cowabunga, dude!
