While I've never used one, I do understand and respect why Hadrien does. It's not for me, but it does look nice.

His 4-finger playing style and speed.

I just sold them a bunch or 18v units, the same we put in our basses. I think it's save to assume they will be using that unit in these basses. Hajime or Sleek Elite in Japan is producing them. Maybe some of these questions should be directed at him, you think? He is a member here so why not get the info straight from the source?

Funny thing I just noticed. On the Member List under 'H', Hajime's name is right after Hadrien's..

Question some questions

Ken,

1- will this bass have the same neck specifications of a 5 strings Burner from '90?
2- What about price?
3- What kind of wood on top and body?
4- What about a four strings?

These questions are 'cause I'm a Burner fan . It's a very rare bird in Brazil maybe a new...

Thanks.
