    I hadn't been on the Rondo site in quite a while and this it the first that I've seen of this one. Pretty cool and cheap too!

    Yeah. I bet a good case will cost more than half of what it's worth. Wonder who's P90s are those. Does Rondo make their own pickups?

    It reminds me of the Fret King Ventura 60 (which has a Wilkinson Strat-style tremolo on it - there's also a Ventura 80 that has two PAF-style humbuckers).

    Basses: Cort NTL-BFL acoustic fretless / Ellio Martina Forza 5 / Fender MIJ '75 RI Jazz / G&L SB-2 / Ibanez MC924 / Ibanez ATK300 (2x) / Ibanez ATK305 / Italia Torino / Longbow 2-string / Rickenbacker 4003 / Sandberg Bullet 5 fretless

    Ya it looks different from what I usually get but that one knob by the bridge pickup is what keeps me from getting it. That's usually where my pinky goes.

    I thought the Moderne was the official gumby guitar, the headstock's even shaped like his head.

    Those guitars look cool, but I have a feeling you'd get it in your hands and say "why did I buy this POS???" It might be a good time to refer back to the timetested phrase 'you get what you pay for.'
