Bass Gear Mag issue #2

I've been running to the mailbox every night after work in hopes that the hard copy has arrived. I feel like Ralphie Parker.

As we found out in issue #1, bulk mail can take a while, so don't have a heart attack! My guess is a couple of weeks, still, going by how long it took the bulk mailing of issue #1 to get out.

Just spotted a schoolboy error!

"Another curious detail is that the truss rod has been placed off-center, favoring the bass side of the neck. There is substantially more string tension on that side of the neck, given the girth and pitch of those strings."

Now I realise newbies think that the low B is higher tension than the D or G but Mr Maneri should really know better! ;)

Indeed ; }

...Also seems like I might have seen the same graph for two different EQ sweeps in the B1500 review... but I just skimmed the mag really - can't stand to read pages though that online reader.
 
I enjoyed reading the review of the Reeves Custom 225

Very thorough review and good content.

On the down side,
It's not easy using your viewer on dial up.
Took forever to load.
Also difficult to link to the text of your articles when needed.
