Good gawd I hope you're joking...

Remind me to bring either a bucket or a blindfold next time we jam.

Haha! With a four thousand pound RRP, methinks the SZ signature is a little pricey.

Oh, bugger. I thought you'd really bought it and was most impressed.

I don;t give a shit what ppl say. I really like it. The only thing I *don't* like are the tilted back tuners. To me, that's always looked like they skimped on the screws and the tuner has shifted. Other than that, it's a beautiful bass.

Yup, love them all. I've always liked pointy basses anyway. Alembics are nice, too.

Pake did have an Iceman bass a few years ago, but it was the Bogan-Westie version, not the Croatian Mafia one.
