*they have blue version of the bass VI listed but no pictures, here is another blue one for comparison
product shinfo wrote:The SIDEJACK series are based on the 1960's MOSRITE. Mosrite guitars were made in USA and began gaining in popularity in the early 1960's with the
help of The Ventures. This new model takes its inspiration from the popular 60's Fender Bass VI model. A 30" scale 6-string Bass that is tuned E-E, a full octave below the standard electric guitar.

I have a hard time understanding Eastwood. They copy cheap instruments, and sell them in the upper/mid price range. And from what I've heard from others on the internet is the quality isn't anything to get excited about.

Yeah I would be much more excited were it from another company. Don't have that much beef with Eastwood, their stuff just isn't to die for.

Most of them really do feel/look cheap in person

I snagged an used Eastwood Classic 6 (Gretsch-a-like) on the 'Bay a while back, and the quality is surprisingly good. Same for the Stratotones I've played, pretty cool. But that's as far as my experience goes.

Their pricing decisions do seem really out of whack though. Some are pretty reasonable, but other times their copies seem more expensive the originals - like this one we were talking about recently: http://www.eastwoodguitars.com/GTRs/hiflyer-phase4/hiflyer-phase4_frm.htm

:idk: Yeah, I'm fine with my Gretsch G5265 JetBaritone which is their take on bass VI. Just as cheap, too, can't be any bit worse.

Though it has to be said that in this price category, it's all about testing the geets first and finding the good ones that were not assembled in Monday hang over, by that forgetful new guy of the company who has two shaking left hands and no tool skills.

I have to consider getting one myself because... going onstage without a spare makes me feel uneasy, since every now and then the strings can't take a lively show.
