☹ That's my dream bass right there.
My mate's as well - she was most unimpressed when I called it fugly. Then again, I go stoopid over a Warlock shape (but not the playability, it makes for a crappy bass unfortunately).

Only drawback is the known issue with fast battery discharge on some Rockbass models.
Nicccceeee...What's the chances there's two Vampyres on a guitar forum... ?
It came with a duracell, which worked fine for two weeks and then died after I read your post. Literally. Thought my amp had died! Apparently the wiring/parts arn't great on earlier Rockbasses, which mine certainly is. I'll have to keep an eye on it - gonna remember to unplug it - perhaps the input jack switching isn't functioning (common RB issue apparently)

Sheesh never thought I'd stare at the body and neck of a bass for that long.
Maybe like looking at a accident scene...you don't want to look, but something compels one too?

Does a bit! Headstock could be more interesting, maybe I'll do something about that. A mate has a 3D printer and idle hands...But ultimately this bass is a tool for me.
Tough to hear how well it performed at practice - as much as I enjoy Kill CIty Blues, only one of the four rehearsal rooms is setup for getting a decent idea of what it'll sound in a band context. And we weren't in it this week and everyone was properly rusty. But I think it worked, do need to add a compressor to the rig. I'm switching between pick and fingers and you can hear the change in attack on the strings - It's still early days as a bassist for the ol' V8 ???
