Saw this on ebay and have never seen one before. Was it a prototype, or did it only appear for a short while?

Looks like Roundback is at it again.

Sure would like to play/hear this one.

Allthough, I must say, I'm very happy with my Viper Bass


Thanks, you guys for posting it here on the board!

Leads me to ask, will Ovation make a 5 or 6 string bass if requested? Seems like most times such a question is posted the answer is they'll cutom make anything......

Paul, being excited about the Viper is a given...

However tempting...can't blame Roundback, could most likely make a good profit if resold later.

Seller is good...he sold me my Viper bass.

Was shocked that the Typhoon bass didn't do better last night - listed by Miles. My high bid was $375, close was $380 but reserve not met. My problem is that I got distracted and missed the end. Sooo tempted...may have to talk to Miles directly.

I guess wants overpower needs...called Miles today - a Typhoon bass. I think this will be the keeper.

Now with the Typhoon and Viper bass, better start practicing.

Looks darn good, let us know how it plays when you get it.

Bailey (PS Bass players always have work when the rest of us are starving, look at your favorite CD's and notice how many have the same bass player but different band).

I bought my Adamas from Roundback, super service, super guitar, and the price was terrific against UK prices, and a friend of mine bought his Elite from him as well!!

Just goes to show what a small world this has become!

He's a dealer (I think in Omaha) who often has Ovations and other decent looking guitars for sale on Ebay, I guess he buys bargains and then makes a few dollars on the turn . . . nice bloke though, IMO, he was very good to do business with.

His name is Paul (surprised?)
he is a really nice guy. I bought a guitar or so from him myself.
Basically he buys and sells instruments.

re: Roundback

Must admit that sometimes I check out what he is bidding on...advance search by bidder.

It appears he has a good idea of what an item is worth and appears to bid on 20-25 guitars or related items at a time.

Or, if you are looking for something (and Al doesn't have it), worth emailing him to see if he has it in inventory.

Curious as to whether he is on OFC...
