Location: NJ | just one of the many copies of ovations that are out there on the market. they just give the company a bad name since people misrepresent them as being real ovations. |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | My question is, that back look very Ovation like, could somebody be using old Ovation equipment or getting backs somehow? |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Although I don't have all of the pictures from Winter NAMM 2003 ready, and I don't like putting pictures in posts, this one seems most appropriate to post immediately.
For those who have seen a "Q", this isn't one. But Al and I almost had a heart attack when we saw it. Yes, your eyes are not blurry. This is a 5 string, totally graphite Bass. The white sticker sais... (hope you are sitting down for this).. MSRP 12,895. Yes folks that = $12,895.00. I do not know the manufacturer.
For those who have not seen the "Q" yet..
Sorry for the poor picture, but it was rotating in a glass case.
Enjoy |

Location: Seattle, Wa | There are several Ovation type guitars out on the market. One dealer I spoke to said Ovation gets a cut of every one that's made, but I don't know if that's true. I had a Dillion that was an Ovation type and it was a pretty good guitar for the price (which is about the same as an Applause). |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Do we have any Bass players on the board that can ID the above 5 string. Even in the unedited original picture the flash reflected on the name and it is not legible. |

Location: Scotland | Miles, If I remember correctly this was on a stand for CNC & CAD/CAM gear for luthiers, they were also displaying quite a few instruments by small-shop makers. Chances are it's a one-off or a prototype. I also have a picture but like yours the name isn't legible. |
