Plum isn't girly unless you bedazzle the whole thing with rhinestones. Plum alone with black hardware is rawkin'!

Got a Legend with HZ's and tonepump. hmm.. should I go for new 35DC on this one and pass down the HZ's and tonepump to the performer? thats food for thoughts |

I was feeling the funk....and some Flamenco :P
Clean sound. Plugged direct into the Sound Interface. No EQ. Slight Compression. Bass EQ: Treb-full, Bass-full, Blend-mid.
I will have to get a HAZ for my Forte and Euro now. I may even get one for my car....  Funk doodle with Spanish twist by T I D E M A R K on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free
On a side note...flamenco on bass hurts thy nails much. |

When I think of plum I think of more purple-ish. Have any pics of the ole NS-95? Love to see it! Here's a pic of my old NS-95.
