Any Reeves Custom 225 users in MA/RI?

Thinking about picking one of these up in the near future but I've gotta hear it first! I'd be willing to slip someone a few bucks for a few minutes of their time for a quick demonstration/trial

How is anybody to know where you're at unless you fill out your profile COMPLETELY. MA/RI is a pretty generic geo locale. People on this board use the info contained in your profile to help answer questions/give advice. First piece of advice, if you want help on this board; fill out your profile.

Well since I didn't say "must be x amount of miles" from my location, wouldn't it be safe to assume traveling a bit isn't an issue. Also I'm pretty sure that my options are gonna be pretty limited considering the piece? I don't recall typing Crate GX-0679765? I'd be lucky to find a few within a reasonable distance. I'll have to google directions on editing my profile later tonight thanks!

Of note is that the entire MA/RI area is probably smaller than houston...we scale things differently in NE I can drive from one end of RI to the other in about 40 minutes. If people in NE have to travel more than an hour to go somewhere they book a flight...sad very sad! So Richspillberg will probably have someone contact him and know exactly what he's asking of them.

Unless you live in Maine, and are lucky to have gigs within an hour of you. You get used to those 2 hour drives one way to a gig

You're right you Maine guys are a hardy breed!

Did you ever find a Reeves?

Sorry I live in Northern CA, otherwise I would be happy to let you come check my Reeves out. I have had my entire set up the Custom 225 and the 410 cab. I know you didn't ask for a critic but I am giving it anyway. First off I asked Bill to build my with white tolex and he had no problem with that, so it looks too cool. My current gig rig is an Aguilar DB751 with the DB212 these are also in white tolex too cool. Love my Aggie but just had to have the Reeves as it gets compared to better then the Sadowsky SA200 I think it was. I have been rehearsing with it for a month or so and am falling more and more in love with it. I will use it to gig next Sat. That will be the tell all for me. Always sounds different at every venue so I am excited to hear her maiden voyage. If you do get to play one you will be blown away with the build quality and the sound I guess I can only explain it as clean, not boomy at all. I happen to love clean bass as I play R&B, Old School Soul/Funk and some country, so it suits me fine. I feel spoiled with my 2 rigs, but I guess when you are as old as me you gotta treat yourself.
