The Underwood adds some zing/high end clarity to the sound. The Realist is a bit dull, but adds lots of body the Underwood doesn't have. The two pickups sound best when I have the phase reversed on the Realist channel.

Just an FYI for everyone here - we actually emailed Primakurtz three times in the week or so after his order but he didn't see any of those emails - I'm guessing a spam filter or something blocked them? If you do order and don't hear back, check our replies haven't been marked as spam!
Well, thanks to FedEx(it could be someone else, but they are the messenger, so...), I will not be breaking in my BTII tonight. They actually had the decency to call me and tell me that my overnight delivery was not going to be delivered overnight. I'm pretty irritated. They wouldn't elaborate as to why it was held up. I'd surmise it might be related to where the package came from and what's going on there...
OTOH, tomorrow is going to be like Christmas in May! I should be getting my cab and my Fractal Audio FX-8, so there's that...
On a serious note, all the thoughts, prayers, and positivity to everyone affected by this senseless, tragic, and cowardly act. Everyone in the UK needs to know that we stand with you!

At least they know where it is hopefully. They "lost" one of my cabs for 4 days. I had teams people on two continents searching for it.
That does not surprise me, at all. UPS totally lost an Ampeg PN-410! I was flabbergasted. They lost a box that was, probably, all of 3' x 3' and weighed every bit of 70lbs! Even if the label fell off, which is what they said probably happened, my description of what was in the box should've been a brilliant starting point in their investigation. They could've crossed-referenced that with who shipped it, and everybody probably would've been happy, lol. I even offered to come search for it (it was, literally, less than 2 hours away from me...).
It's probably still sitting in their lost, found, and never delivered section...
Well, Wednesday has, for the most part, come and gone, and my cab is still not here. I was told yesterday, that it should be on its way and get to me today. Tracking hasn't changed at all. I'm gonna wait until tomorrow morning, see if its moved, then Lord help the messenger if the status hasn't changed. I feel bad for the FedEx rep that gets my call tomorrow. I know it's not their fault, but they represent the person who's at fault, so they get the wrath...
Often times people can't comprehend the degree of anticipation associated with this process. The vast majority of customers celebrate the excellent overnight delivery service no doubt but when things go awry it can send your anxiety level off the charts. I've been there, not fun. I hope you cab arrives soon.
Such a bummer. My BB2 came in a nondescript cardboard box. Wrapped with "FRAGILE" tape. 25" x 21" x 17". Good luck.
Thanks. I was hoping for a bit more dynamic packaging, lol! I think I'm probably SOL. The guys at Barefaced have said they'd push another one through for me, but I'd like to have it for a big show next weekend. I really appreciate them offering to do that, but FedEx needs to step up. My issue with FedEx, is they just seem to ignore that they're the one's responsible for people not getting their stuff on time or ever, and they don't/won't make that tiny extra effort to make sure packages get where they're going when something happens. They have thousands of people. Is there a group of folks who just look for lost packages?
@pbass6811 I also had a delay with FedEx and inaccurate tracking. And crap phone support. It did eventually show up, but not because of anything I did, or because anyone in phone support appeared to be able to do anything other than look up the same info I could see on the web. So I wish you luck.
That said, my cats disagree that the packaging is boring. I repost my review below.

Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it. How long did it take for your cab to actually show up?
Yeah, our cat is a huge fan of virtually any empty box. We keep one or two around most of the time...lol

Honestly, I don't remember, but it was a few days. Felt like aeons, but that's just because I was excited to get the box. So were my cats, apparently.
pbass6811, my heart goes out to you, man. Do know that whatever hassle you're going through now, it WILL be worth it, and will quickly fade away once your cab arrives..... and it will arrive.
