I bought my Univox hi-flier bass from a shop for $250. That was the perfect price for my favorite instrument. I wouldn't pay what they're asking now.

Except they got the pickups and electronics all wrong. It's basically an SG bass now. BUUUUUUUUT it still looks rad.

This. I want it.

I used to have the standard stop tail hi flyer by Eastwood, it was decent... great if you like punk/alternative, but the neck was a little wide and kept me from fully enjoying it. I'd love to try the higher priced and (maybe) better built models.... but alas... higher priced.

I think it's cool. For people who like "full" maple necks, like myself. It's tempting since alot of guitars have rosewood fingerboards.

I dig their well-done repros of rare/expensive stuff and their semi-original deigns - really want the tenor Musicmaster, a Harmony Stratotone-alike, and probably the electric mandola. Really wish they would make a mandocello now, I'd be all over that. Would have bought a "Jack White model" in a heartbeat if they had been selling them ten years ago.

I love that someone at least attempted to clone the Magnum...but it's all wrong, looks like it's missing a chromosome or something. I just can't dig it.
