The second one from the right might be the Lake Placid Blue AB1 that is on its way here...

There is sooo much goodness in that photo though. That blue one with the maple contrast that has wenge(?) contest lines on the maple contrast looks super sharp and the first on the right looks stellar!

They do lines?

They do lines?

Not usually. Then again I ordered it nearly 2 years ago.

They don't do full lines anymore but they used to - I even convinced them to do luminlay lines for me a few years ago

To my ear, the bass response of the DGTC is overpowering. Backing off that bass knob really opens things up. I'm not playing down-tuned metal either (praise music).

I think you're right and this may help. It's also my first 18v system and is a lot hotter than everything else I have. I'll try dropping the bass down.

give the dark glass a chance. I’m a metal head in a jazz/Latin fusion gig and have learned to really explore it. try rolling the Highs right down. There is tons of room to explore the low mids especially in combination with the lows. I find the lows will float between 3-8 but the low mids are all about specific desired flavour. The high miss can still be bright at 0. Depended on the rest of your gear too for obvious reasons.

Yes - that'a been my biggest struggle (the high mids). I don't know if it's the taper of the pot but they seem to go from not enough to really cutting fast and I'm always balancing on this knife edge with the high mids.
It's really an incredible instrument though and I'm sure I'll get the eq fully figured out soon.

@Flabzilla you did well! That is gorgeous! Well fitted too. That's going to be amazing. Cocobolo top? My fretless 5 is Cocobolo. Very organic.

It’s a very dynamic preamp. Perhaps less intuitive but definitely offers an incredible range. Like you said, a little can be a whole lot with it.
Good luck and enjoy

Hey gang, I need some c strings, how do I reach out to our go to guy (Jason)? Didn't see a "contact us" at Fret Nation.
