But I've been here before, so it can't be any worse.

The promos for this thing are amazing... spend a half-hour listening to this:

So, I'll be selling my Fender basses soon. Anyone interested?
...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    have you played one yet? I heard they feel like balsa wood and there is absolutely NO vibrations (feeling) in the guitar. don't know about the bass though. hate to be a downer but I need to FEEL the notes as well as hear 'em. I played our bass player's Modulus 5 string the other night and it was intense the way you could feel the notes in your fret hand. twas cool. but to each his own, it IS a pretty cool concept. peace

    I have a Fender P-Bass, deep purple, and a Fender J-Bass, deep red. Both are Mexican standards with hardshell cases. The J-Bass, I'd want $350; the P-Bass, $250.

    I own and regularly play a Variax 500 guitar. It doesn't feel as substantial as a Les Paul, but it feels better than most Japanese Fenders... about equivalent to a Mexican Strat. And the sounds really are there.

    The demos have me sold on the bass... I've always wanted a variety of bass sounds available, like a 70's Rickenbacker, a 60's P-Bass, a 60's J-Bass, a pre-Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray, a Modulus, a fretless... but I'm not really a bass player, so it makes little sense to have $9,000 in bass guitars that I'll never really use outside a jam session or recording studio.

    i think it's a good idea man if your experience with the variax guitar has been acceptable.

    i have no need for the variax's since i have all my bases covered guitar and bass-wise but i want to bronze my two pod XTs. damn i love them.

    If it lives up to its claim and the demos on its site is true sound, then you'll have a hell've all in one multi-bass sound at your fingertips. This is absolutely not a bad deal and as you said, it's mostly for jam sessions and recording studio use. If your already comfortable with that instrument line go for it.
