I didn't realize it was a short scale when I posted this. I saw one in person at Guitar center last week. I didn't plug it in, because I couldn't find a fucking employee to get a cable from cause everyone that works at that guitar center is useless. It didn't look as nice in person. The finish was kind of weird. It also had the same fretboard problems as the cheap ass melody makers that they had that I mentioned in another thread.

YES! That's the best way to describe that finish. It seriously looks like some jackass that had no idea what he was doing painting his house with a gigantic paint brush. most likely a giant brush that had been used many many times and never cleaned so it does a really uneven and crappy looking paint job.

I'd totally dig this bass if it weren't for the fact that it looks like it's trying to take a PISS in it's own ASS.
