Even when this Q has the MOB holes. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I'll admit that there is some infatuation with carbon fiber, just the sexiness of it. But in the end for me it's still the sound that's number one priority. I played two of the original Q's at the factiry and they were very nice. But I would not jump to the conclusion that they make all other guitars obsolete. Dave |

Location: Wooster, Ohio | I am new to the pictures of Q, never really kept up with that. It looks awesome. I would disagree that graphite is not the future. I use graphite now and will never go back. Sound and duribility hard to beat. Absolute shame this masterpeice never got anywhere.

Location: Phoenix AZ | Steve, don't misinterpret what I said or maybe I was not clear. I am not saying that graphite isn't necessarily the future. What I am saying is that to buy a guitar simply BECAUSE it's graphite would (in my opinion) be a mistake. But to buy it because it sounds good, plays good, excites some visceral feelings in you, etc. or is just "right" by what ever definitoion you choose would be a whole different matter. Believe me, I have bought plenty of guitars because of how they looked or how I thought they made me look. For the most part those instruments have long since been passed on to others. Dave |

Location: 6 String Ranch | That is a very cool picture of the proto of the viper bass. Is that one of Miles pictures? I know the bass is sitting right across the room from me now and it still looks good!
As I look at it again that may be a different bass, mine is fretless. |

Location: CT | Yes that is...uh..WAS Miles' bass. He graciously let it out of his stable, it's here with me now and I absolutely love it. So there's a fretless one too? Sweet. |

Location: CT | s/n X059. Not sequential, but I don't know how the prototype serial numbers work. I thought it was a one off, but an evil fretless twin, huh? Was that all or could there be a few more floating around? |
