    Now THAT is cool!

    If that showed up at my local music store or pawn shop, (and was a good playing instrument) i would have a very hard time walking away from it!

    Not a new concept and if you really want one you can probably find a used Morgan Monroe.

    Actually, those Morgan Monroe F basses are not easy to find. I had one for a while. Not a whole lot to offer in terms of tone.
