I vote for a jerry jones longhorn bass4 or a electrical guitar company standard bass with moog pickups!
any bass really, but affordable!
Well maybe Fernandes could ‘sleep with the enemy’ and produce something. i have a Dave Kushner Signature Ravelle with Sustainer pickup and it’s beaut. i wouldn’t normally go for a green guitar, but believe me chaps, the ladies love it. As an Ebow user too you can tell that the Moog Guitar is for me, bar two things: as mentioned the ugh aesthestics and the ‘Signature’ price tag. i can only assume they are going to produce some standard models at a later date.
One of these coupled with my new Taurus pedals (if they happen) would make me invincible (well… 
)
Cool guitar! very future retro!
Im thinking on a SYstem 55, youll spend a lifetime of never bathing or shaving and eventually youll find the patch that creates world peace…then youll die of some kind of fungal infection before you can hit the key.

Sorry to go a little off topic, but this needs replying to.
I own a Roland V-Synth, which is truly amazing - the best synth I’ve ever played, with the greatest possibilities for sound variation, and excellent sound quality.
As for being overpriced: the sound possibilities are so vast that I’ll probably still be making new sounds with it long after I’ve forgotten what it cost. And it cost less than my Voyager.
As for Fender, there are a lot of good guitars around, and I coud probably get by with something cheaper than the USA Strat I bought. On the other hand I tried a couple of Mexican Strats as well as a few USA ones, and the build and sound quality was very impressive. I paid twice as much just to get a bit of extra feel to the instrument. I could have got a really good Fender guitar for a lot less. Yes, this guitar was a bit pricey, but it certainly isn’t medicre. I also played the Anniversary special edition Strat one time, and the feel of that instrument certainly justfied the higher price tag.
It really depends on what someone wants. You can make good music with relatively cheap instruments. I make music with very cheap fairly traded instruments and with cheap or even free VST softsynths, and sometimes those are just the right instruments. At other times what’s needed is a more expensive Roland or Fender instrument - or a rather pricey Moog. But mediocre? Not at all, in my experience.
Sorry, gotta clarify my previous statement. 
Fender, IMO, does not make the best instruments in the world. Alembic comes to mind as an example of a premium guitar. Fender, by comparison, is the mass-produced standard. Of course, I couldn’t tell the difference between an American Strat and a Mexican one. Or a Fender and a Squire for that matter. They all feel the same to me. Just disregard my ignorance regarding guitars.
Roland IS a mediocre company. Horrible customer service, even worse support. After you buy a Roland, they stop offering support for it because they release a new synth that costs a third less, and does twice as much as the one you bought. A good company they are not. I, for one, will never buy anything from them. For digital synths, I like Kurzweil and Yamaha. Both excellent companies that offer support long after you purchased their instruments. Just my opinion, of course. 
If this ever gets down to the sub 2k level than I’ll definately be picking one up. I can only imagine this kind of technology is eventually going to become industry standard… may be way down the road, but it just makes so much sense. There are so many applications for it in music today.
