They aren't made any more? Aren't they the same instrument nowadays just with a different brand name?

It looks the same as the Rogue except without the pick guard and different control knobs. You see them with many different brand names on the headstock, all pretty much the same.

I had one of these basses for a couple of years (1999-2004) and the finish was very nice, I don't think the pictures do justice, the sound I believe was very close to a Hofner and I believe it played and sounded much better than the Chinese Hofners that came out a few years after the Viola bass.
