be sure to put it in your sig!
 
Are you talking about the Yamaha I posted? I'm not sure what you mean by tone port. Are you referring to the resonance ports through the body? In any case it plays very well. It is one of the best 5-strings I have played with a remarkably clear b-string. It is light and has a tonne of growl.

Yeah, I was talking about the Yamaha. I'd love to hear some clips of it, especially the low E.
