Seriously, no opinion from anyone here?

I posted this in the Pickups/Preamps section but thought I might get a little more response over here. Just wondering if anyone out there has any thoughts/experiences/opinions on these two pre-amps or how they compare. I'm building a Nordy with Big Singles (or possibly NJ5s) and initially...

Just wondering if anyone out there has any thoughts/experiences/opinions on these two pre-amps or how they compare. I'm building a Nordy with Big Singles and initially spec'ed it with the 3-band to have control over the mids, but am now considering the perceived simplicity of the 2-band. I'm...

I should probably take a moment to point out that the photos were taken in direct sunlight which really brings out the reddish-orange hues of the cocobolo top and katalox fingerboard. Spotlights bring this out as well. In flat light conditions these woods look considerably darker or less...

100% sure on the katalox fretboard as I specifically ordered it. Katalox comes in an interesting variety of hues actually. When I first received this bass it had a katalox fingerboard that was more "chocolate-green", if you can imagine, with crazy flaming going on in it. Unfortunately the...
