Thankfully the H90 and the new updated H9 seemed to have ended that model for Eventide, at least in the pedal world!I think pay to play kind of started with eventide h9? I have two of them since forever and they started in basic form and got upgraded little every month.
Until eventually getting ”max” status. As much great things I’ve got out of them, I can’t say I liked the pay for effects thing was.
I would never go that route again…
Hey nice Handmade WL DX4 I have one also, the Handmade series are very much one of the best Jazz ever made. I’ve watched factory tour and it’s impressive how much attention to details they put in crafting their instruments without CNC machines, if they were to be a western brand they’d easily be comparable to Sadowsky NYC/Fodera.If you want to take that bass to the next level, drop in an Audere preamp. Pretty much plug and play, you will have an entirely new bass in regards to tone.
I put Audere preamps into both my Japanese Bacchus basses. They both sound incredible!

You're not alone. I'm 50 so I don't care anymore. I've been out of every possible loop for decades at this point hahaStill never heard of him or the Tony! Toni! Tone'!.
The ox blood is cool, but I attracted to the racing green. Would probably get a matching racing stripe. Decent price for a Fender these days.I like them both. I'd go for the British Racing Green if I had to choose between the two.

I am impressed with Rumbles, especially for the price, but they do greatly benefit from a high pass filter.
I'd take poor over abysmal any day.There are no factory recone kits available, all of the aftermarket kits I have seen are poor to abysmal. Just beware.
If you string him high enough, sureI wonder if it can be used as a tie clip to pitch check a vocalist.
I will have to quality my original answer to say that the 2013- current RAV4’s are a different length and width. If you push the front seat all the way forward, you still might be able to lay the bass diagonally. But, no one will be able to sit in the front passenger seat. Another thing, though thatI have a 2012 RAV4, and the answer is yes.
My db goes diagonally with the back seats folded.
Not everyone accepts that the tension is "poor," in which case there's nothing that needs accepting. To many, the tension change either isn't that noticeable or else doesn't make a big enough difference to care about. I used that Hipshot device for a couple of years, until I went to 6-string, and the tension change never bothered me as much as the fact that you seemingly were never *quite* in tune when you used it (though a quick little tug on the string usually sorted things out well enough).I'm just more curious about how others accept the poor tension on the Drop D, and the majority of the answers are just "deal with it.".
