Another 'boy band'. Wonder whose clothing line they are endorsing?

Out of the box, I have found Alembics to have very low action. I like the action on my original Steinberger (no adjustments of any kind!). I have a couple of Bongos that have low action. I have to work hard to get a Fender J or Gibson EB-3 into shape and then I have to repeat it seasonally. YMMV

Yes, I rack both Shuttles (6 & 12) that I own. With cables, rack tuner, effects, et al it just makes it easier.

I had that happen with a Steinberger I own. Simple fix for me. The jack was loose because the smaller connector was lightly engaging the plug. I gently bent the lower connector toward the longer connector to make a tighter fit for the cable. All is now well.

A few years back Mouradian's nephew told me his uncle was about to make this new line of basses. Jim showed me a picture of what was to come and I bought one. To date he has made a very small number of them (< 20??) but in his new digs he is talking about making a 2nd generation Reality.

I'll take some pics on Saturday and post 'em then. The upper bout is quite thin, thus the strap button screw is quite slim too. Therefore it is the only bass I own without strap locks and that makes me nervous.

The Mouradian Reality is a long scale bass. Mine is outfitted with a HipShot drop D tuner. The finish is delicate, but the sound is massive piano strings.

Here is a picture of my Mouradian Reality bass. He made a few of 'em a few years back.
