This is my very first Mosrite. Always wanted one but there hard to come by.

Nice! I really like it and I wish our bassplayer would like Mosrite basses, too ;-)

I somewhat compare the Mosrite to a Rickenbacker. The sound is distinctly unique.They may not be as versatile as a Pbass or Jbass, but they sound awesome.

He doesn't complain about the sound, but about the design...shame on him. Then again, I'm almost 40, he's 23 ;-) I didn't like a good wine when I was 23...actually...I did, but you know what I'm trying to say.

i have to admit,when I first saw Mosrites many years ago, I thought they were a bit geeky looking. After actually owning and playing one, I've changed my mind. I'm in the process of cleaning the bass up right now, so its in pieces. But when I get it back together, I'll post some more pictures.
