hmmm.... No market research here... soft or otherwise, Willcox Guitars is not presently considering a SC model at all. I'm a TB member and contributor and have been since 2005, CUP requires I disclose my industry affiliation, which by no means should indicate my every thread and question is related to my Job. I also PLAY bass, and enjoy interacting with the greater Low-End Community, as it were. This was just a fun thread that was borne out a debate between a friend of mine and I.
My apologies for assuming about your motive. But I do think you might have done some research before posting.
