Bass review

Just to let everyone know that there is a misprint in the latest edition of Bass Guitar Magazine this month regarding the review of the Eve Basses. Mistakes happen, but I just want to clarify that the 5-string Elite pictured IS NOT the ProBass. Anyone getting in contact please note that the ProBass is the bolt-on model with a solid natural or stained body - there are no options for top laminates or exotic woods. I have attached an image of what should have been printed. Apologies for any confusion.
