Wicked cool, switches and all.

you can only be from one place…lol

 

[Engle]

That is a lot if knobs and switches for one bass…

When you’re playing it by itself, the various tones don’t seem useful. One setting sounds the best. When it’s in a band mix, being able to shift the resonant peak let’s you find the sweet spot where you can hear the bass.

As long as it looks good.

Amen. Spoken like a true believer in the cult of shallow. It's a happy place.

I still like the symmetrical body shapes. I've got a design cut out with similar, just need to get it to the shop.
Matter of fact, it looks a lot like that S.D Curlee.

Instead of learning what all the switches and knobs do on my Eagle, I just learned which ones NOT to touch.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

?

WICKED cool….

 

[Count Bassie]

WICKED…

HA! Yeah...

There is merit in learning the techniques of even an evil master...

Sometimes harder to reach, but at least they all turn the same direction. When I play any of the other 3(2 2x2,1 3x2) I invariably turn at least one the wrong way.

A serious chunk of Mahogany! I recall seeing those.

I have long arms so the reach isn't a problem, but if there's one on the "wrong" side I'll turn it the right but wrong way. Never got used to them on that side. I'm sure if that was all you played you'd get use to it.

There's some dude in the reflection taking pics of your stuff. Keep an eye on that cat.

Nah. I'd still figure out a way to botch it.

 

[MCF]

Aren’t we all?

I’m trying to figure a way to guilt him into giving one to me.
