Sounds like quite the tone monster.

I've played it a bit so far and yes, the Darkstars add a whole new dimension/depth to what the already good sounding bass can sound like. The stock pu sounds good, but being a single-coil, it has the hum issue that singles have. But being a Darkstar user/player myself - I've never found that to be an issue. My Teiscobird has only one Darkstar and never buzzes, and my Gojira Fenderbird has two Darkstars and never buzzes. FTR, a Darkstar is also a single-coil pu.

I was sorely tempted but am being nice to the Budget Queen since we have t get a new oven/microwave. The 40 y/o unit is ready to retire.

Should I bring it to Seattle?

You listening, @Stealth57 ?

Do you have to ask? I'm pretty sure Epiphone makes a HSC for it, which being a hollow-body is a must if traveling with it. My '68 Custom Kraft didn't have a HSC (rare as hens teeth) so I made one for it.

That would be awesome. It'd be as free as a bird, now.

I have it in my cart at 4 different stores. Hoping someone cuts a $99 deal like they did for the Epi triangular case.

The old oven or the new one?

Hi guys!

Sorry I've been out for a while! Been lots of work & non-work time-sink stuff going on lately eating up all my time

Let me know if I missed anything important?

After I saw this:

I figured I'd just skip ahead a bit....

Glad you checked in. You've been missed.

Nothing important. We are all still a little off.

@JIO moves up the enabler list.

Well done!

IIRC, the Newport is darker than the Embassy. A great sound, but covered by my EB-0

Yes, it definitely would be with that pickup next to the fretboard. I would love to try one, but likely not for me.

Dave's going to buy it.

He's got the disease Geddy has.
See it. Buy it.

Not me.

Chuck has a fridge. Dave's bringing an oven. Who's got the kitchen sink?

Glad to enable help! I was tempted to buy it myself - it's a very classy bass. I'm a knob snob and think these gold speed-knobs work well both functionally and visually.

Trippy

I like it!

Well done!

Thanks, Ken. I think your post won TB for the day.
