And now some thoughts after owning this bad boy for nearly 3 years:
WOW.
OK, now that I've said that I need to say it again, WOW!!!. I have owned many basses over the years and I currently own 8. Nothing else sounds like this bass. Period. I've tried to get a few of my other basses to sound even remotely close and I just can't do it. This thing has a huge tone that is solid, clear, and when you want it to be it growls like a beast. Just nuts. I have been playing it exclusively at my gigs for the last 3 months or so and that was finally what made me order a custom 5 string. I just couldn't stand not have that tone on a 5 string anymore - especially since I'm primarily a 5 string player!
So there you go! I've ordered and paid for the Rogue 5 string already and now I'm selling off most of my harem. I already don't play most of them live anymore and when the Rogue shows up I doubt I'll ever play any of them again - even my JPJ may start to feel neglected!
