Not ideal perhaps, but the lobing you get with a typical HF above the LF driver arrangement tilts the HF output downward too. I first saw/heard it done by Henry Kloss in his office at Advent. He used a pair of Advent speakers per side, the upper speaker flipped upside down, creating a W-T-T-W alignment. This was in '72, two decades before another colleague of mine, Joe D'Appolito, perfected the M-T-M speaker.

We are still making them. There's one slot left for Batch 3...lots of interest off Facebook this week but noone has pulled the trigger on the last slot yet. Batch 4 won't be started until February due to CNY.

Aaaaah this is super cool! Please tell me you’re still making these. I’ve wanted a DIY Cutlass for many years!! I have a 1992 EB SR4. Would I need to order a different product, or would this work?

I had a BB734 previously so happy with the few and vibe overall.

Great first show of two this weekend at the lovely Trading Boundaries venue in East Sussex, fairly local for us. Roy and Rob the sound guys are great and always do us proud. Fantastic sound out the GB Spitfire /puma/LFsys Monza set up. Very receptive audience as always, nice not to have to break everything down, just take my basses home . Looking forward to tonight’s one now . Happy Christmas everyone! Xx😊

Could all law abiding Basschatters keep an eye out for this bass stolen from a mate's local pub in Harlow this week please? It was the pub's bass used by all at their open jam nights. Unfortunately, the manufacturer isn't clear from the photos but it should be recognisable, especially if offered for sale online in the near future. Any info, please direct message me, many thanks.

Play for today. The Cure

I always said I prefer the sound of a vintage electric bass and your MM might be the oldest ever!

No, there are no technical limitations. This has all the features you asked for: https://www.kdbasses.com/basses/rev-ii-5-string-multi-scale-headless/

Bought a pedaltrain nano. Arrived next day delivery. Buy with confidence.

that’s great , and really happy to support, but if we don’t know about it we can’t go and see you 😁

You're correct Daryl. He just couldn't be bothered to put the effort in. He's done a couple of gigs in a new band and used almost our entire old set. There was one new song that he just played basic rhythm on and let the lead guitarist sing instead.

I found that link a while ago, but when you add it to the basket it says it's no longer available! So close.

No thanks to fingerstyle! I'm happy with a pick for what I play 😉 And yes, I'm committed to a 5 now. Actually picked up a spare one a few days ago. And haven't touched a 4 string for a year...

I'm curious whether there are any basses out there that combine all three of these characteristics, and not simply one or two? There are clearly a growing number of multiscale headess basses, but I've never heard of any that were also neck-thru - maybe there's a technical limitation that would prevent such a construction method? So, I thought I'd ask all of you; does such a bass exist, and if not, is there a scientific reason why not? Thank you.

I love my 1900's 2eg 4 string Ray. Initially I had the week G string, but fixed it by adjusting the pole pieces too. I run it on full bass and 70% treble. Some light eq settings on my amp to suit but always a low mid boost. It cuts through the mix of our 3 piece band where the guitarist likes a muddy bassy sound. I get a lot of compliments on my sound and our drummer says it's the best sounding bass he's heard on stage. The neck is just right for me and it's such a joy to play.
