I just picked up a Laney LFR112 to try out and I have to say I am super impressed with it. enough so that I'm buying another one and/or an LFR212 for bigger no PA support gigs. I'm using the Laney Nathan East Preamp and now I have pretty much the same sound whether I'm doing an ampless stage or...

Ultimate Ears UE350

I haven't gigged with one, but I have tried one. It was a fairly controlled setting - no drummer, no guitar player(s), nobody else. Just me playing a bass through it. I was able to dial up a decent setting pretty quickly and volume seemed sufficient through a 210 cabinet. Wouldn't be my first...

It's a Burl Maple not Buckeye. It's an INSANE top. I got to tour the shop and pick out the top myself.

Current family photo... 55-64 US Classic, 55-AJ Custom, 55-OS Fretless. Pretty much covers everything from Vintage to Modern. Will likely be adding a 55-60 US and a US Fretless at some point.

I have contacted them about making a 55-76... We shall see what comes of that inquiry. Last I knew, they still had the CNC program, so it should still be possible to get it done. I want it fretless - 5-string Pino essentially.

Some of us have suggested Phil hire a social media manager and refrain from using his personal account for any business related posts… we shall see.

Had a friend at work 3D print some. They’re pretty spot on.

Just joined the club. 2017 Korean made. Anybody know where I can get the replacement caps for the control knobs?

The particular issue has been resolved to the satisfaction of both the customer and myself, although it appears he has not held up his end of the resolution... yet...

I don't work in that department. It's possible we missed it. I don't know what the tolerances are for Fender or Ibanez. I'd always recommend calling your SE and obviously, if you aren't happy with it send it back.

When you see the number of rejections we have... Yes, it is better. Like I said, we could certainly do a better job explaining what it is and what it isn't. I do my best to explain it to my customers.

We do the inspection on every instrument over $400. What should be made more clear to buyers is that the inspection is to ensure the instrument is within factory tolerances. Different manufacturers have very different tolerances and obviously the tolerances on a $10,000 Fodera are going to be a...
