Remember a while back when I was ranting about how a Teisco EP-200B sold for $521 plus shipping?

Well the Teiscos are outpricing the Micro-Frets. This poor Micro-Frets Signature bass sold for $481 plus shipping last week:

And this is one of the nicer ones - Style 3, which was a two-piece semi-hollow body with no f-hole. Previous models had a three-piece ’sandwich’ style semi-hollow body with (I believe) masonite core.

I saw one of the sandwich-style basses at the Charlotte guitar show, and quite frankly it felt kinda cheap. The Style 3 models look much more solid.
