I had two of these back in the day. A fretless and a fretted one. I bought them for $800.00 each at a drum shop on Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollywood around 1981. Truly the worst instruments I ever played, but I had to have them because of their connection to Stanley Clarke. (Hint...never buy a product because of an endorsee unless it is what he uses on tour every night). The carbon over foam was lifeless and the strings rang out with a dull "thud". They also had a terrible pickup system with no adjustment, and no way to add new pickups due to the "all in one" design. The thin body design was elegant, but neck heavy. The weight was light, but that led to a lack of resonance. The fretwork was sophomoric at best, and it was impossible to get the action low due to a miscalculation of the neck angle. I look back on it now and wonder why the heck I didn't take that money and buy another Series I. Starstruck dumb kid.
