People speak very highly of their bass guitars, though when I
tried one out I didn't know enough about the bass to really say.

Also, I don't think that they knock off other instrument makers.
Certainly, they were one of the first to give you fretless
5 string basses and they are quite distinctive units.

I think their low prices are due to the fact that they
sell factory-direct and cut out the middleman...
