Really great sounding instrument - especially since he says it is played into a guitar amp.  There is some serious bottom end in the sound, but not with the traditional Gibson muddy bass sound!

If there were really only sixty some made in total I would think it would be more than $15,000, even though it has limited appeal.

looks like the kind of thing Meshuggah would use if they were around in the 60s....

I think Noel Redding played one of these (borrowed from Chas Chandler) on the earliest of Jimi Hendrix Experience recordings along with a Fender Bass VI

Is this what a Fender Bass VI essentially is?

That's a very cool instrument.

How does that bass boost circuit work?
