| read somewhere recently, Fly basses due are to ship in February.
They're probably introducing them at Winter NAMM (going on right
now I think).

| I was in Wurlitzers over the weekend and happened to notice that they
had one of these "The Fly" six strings on display. They named it right;
it's as ugly as the bug it's named after!! Didn't dare to play it for
fear of having nightmares......

| Well, I made a big boo-boo...
I played a "Fly" at ProJo.. I mean ProSound the other day.
This is a MAJOR axe!! If I had some extra cash I didn't want to
spend on my studio, I OWN one right now. This things electronics
are amazing - closest LesPaul sound I've ever heard (from other than
a Les Paul), and the same goes for strat souns. Damn. What a smokin'
guit!
My only dislike about it was that I felt like I've break it (fat
chance, but thats what it FELT like). I want one. Buck, trust me,
you want one too.

| Keep your eyes open; I've seen several of these pop up on the used
market already.

| New Toy Syndrome, me thinks. The gotta-be-the-first-on-my-block
kinda folks with the $$$ must be snapping some of these up, then
move on when the novelty wears off.
I'm *STILL* waiting to see a bass!!!

Caught a segment on these Guits on the "Beyond 2000" show
on the Discovery Channel. Seems like some interesting
craftsmanship here. They were saying it's as light as a
feather...I'd like to check 'em out.

Big article about Parker, Fishman, the deal with Korg, and the
major buzz problems with the Fly in yesterday's Boston Globe.
The buzz almost killed the company since more than 30% of the
second production run buzzed uncontrollably. After taking a saw
to one and cutting of one part at a time, they discovered the
problem was in the redwood neck. He described redwood as
"psychotic wood, totally unpredictable, working perfectly in
some guitars and buzzing in others. The neck was immediately
switched to basswood, test lines were run, and the problem
didn't return."
So, in those WantAds, be careful.
Also, a less expensive one will be coming out retailing for
about $1350.
