I'm glad you're home safe Mitch, great seeing you again!
Well, coming from one of the best pair of ears I know... The comparison we did on Monday really helped me tune in to the differences... Even Miko commented that after you said it, we were really able to focus and hear what you are talking about.
In regards to my LM, it is 9.5 lbs and I don't think it's missing anything compared to the heavier ones at NAMM and the shop.
Ya got home ok, and was a pleasure to hang with you and everyone again! I'm still laughing over Mon night dinner(...pics of "the stack" to come
Your bass sounds looks and sounds great - congrats again.
Mitch
