Where are you playing in Cleveland? (I am in Cleveland)

I think it sounds fine. I’ve messed around with both a Rattler and a Genzler Crash Box 4 and I think they both sound good. Note I haven’t recording anything with that combo or used the DI with it.

The Darkray has some awesome finishes. I love Music Man’s sparkle finishes. Pictures don’t do them justice.

No but I did order my custom Stingray in that color. It’s an amazing finish.

I spent $600 to get my 1954 P refretted at Elderly.

I had a Rickenbacker 25+ years ago. Even though I've settled on Stingrays, I kinda want one of those walnut 4003s...

I just got the crash box 4 and so far have been happy with it. Haven’t really tried it in any meaningful context, but it has a wide range of sounds. It can go very light on overdrive and I think was the right buy for me over the 4 on the Floor.

I like that a lot. Looks very similar in picture to plasma purple. I’d love to see them both in person to figure out the difference.

So I completely failed to get any good pictures. Everything comes out bluer than it looks in real life. What's on the Music Man website looks reasonable accurate. There are at least 3 colors of flakes in the paint: purple, blue-purple, and red-purple. As a consolation prize, here's a...

About 2.5 months. I think I ordered right at the end of December (30th or 31st) and it arrived when I posted. So like 11 weeks?

I will get some better pictures this weekend. Work today/this week… whew. Yeah the sparkle finish looks amazing. For the Plasma Purple it looks like there are bluish-purple flakes and reddish-purple flakes. In person and up close you see all the flakes and the base color. Grape crush looks...

Thanks! I loved the new Darkray color and was happy you could go off menu with the custom design experience.

My new bass finally showed up! Purple!

My new bass showed up today. My other two basses are blond and natural, so I decided I should go less understated. I was about to get Grape Crush but then the Darkray in Plasma Purple was announced. I got my degree in plasmas; that sealed the deal on color selection. The custom design...

Agreed. I recently got the 115 and it’s the first cab I’ve purchased in over 20 years. I knew it would be lighter but I also know my body is 20+ years more decrepit. Anyway, I was shocked at how easy it was to move the 115 around.
