Not getting noticed? The Eastwood Rocket Bass is the cure for anonymity. Eastwood corners the market it quirky guitars, and this Rocket Bass is fashioned after an Italian EKO bass from the 60’s. Used most notably by the Rokes, who were sort of Italy’s Fab Four in late 60’s (and they were British not Italian). It’s another footnote in the history of oddball instruments. But while it’s quirky, it’s not cheesy, and the mid-mounted humbucking pickup and short scale gives the Rocket a pleasing thump that will drive your own pop creations. And you’ll certainly get noticed.
Excellent condition used bass with no scratches or dings. Includes Fender gig bag.
