well, turned out it was very good!

yes

Could do with a few more lights..

Mine is I suppose the same dry finish which I like. But it weighs a ton so it has to imagine it being neck heavy. The only one of my 5s that was in any way head heavy was the 1605, which had a very light body compared to all the others (not sure why as the back is the same in all cases), so I put hipshots on it. the only 6 I had was the GWB36, which didn't have neck dive. Of course it is, and I never said it wasn't

Because things cost money to make, but there are always chances to find stuff. I got a B-Stock ABM600 Evo IV last year in the black friday sale (ie, last last year, 2000) for £345 and all it had was one scratch on the tolex.

in the SR1xxx range there are a lot of colours (and woods). What do you call colour sensible?

Thats just taste though isn't it? I have gone through many basses, special and not, but my SRs have outlasted most of them and would probably be what I ended with when I downsized (although the EHB challenges that). I don't really need inspiring electronics, just something transparent and i find that they do that. They hardly have that many product lines, although they have many within each line. OK, in a world of fender and gibson where you basically get 2 or 3 basses in different colours it seems a lot, but it isn't really. Surprised on the comments of the 5006 though, I have a 5005, the b isn't dull (obvs no C) and its far from head heavy, maybe the other machinehead makes a difference but considering the weight of the body that is a surprise. Love the finish too, but then it is just wenge, and I love wenge so if you don't, you aren't going to like it!

I have 2 of the cuvave ones, they are pretty silent.

Yeh, I always say that about myself. Love the talman though, I have the 5 string one, although it is clearly built down to a budget

They do have all their cosm stuff in the SY1000

They have been going for a long while so I suspect they will have no problem. I am not planning on anything specifically but if a short multiscale EHB got near me I would be pretty keen. I hope the multiscale BTB style travels towards the SR range at some point.

I have one of those and they are great, love them.

Absolutely not. It is very simple to do a test to check that the final unit is working automatically, it costs next to nothing, and the return cost of it not working when it comes out is very high. It's not even caring, it just down to the bottom line.

The wood is very soft and very easy to dent, I have dented mine in a few places, but to be fair it gets a lot more playing out than any of the others, so that isn't surprising.

The EHB is adjustable. My EHB1505 is 17.5 which is about the widest spacing I can do!

A lot more than with something basic like a guitar or bass. Probably a failure in one of the wires to the board

Having worked in the electronics industry, i find it inconceivable that that would be true for any actual company that has stayed in business for more than 3 months.

Like this you mean?

Not sure, mine is an iPhone, it can spell!

I looked at a video on the net about them and the guys one was 7.8lb

They were hard to get an expensive.

Often the way with gibsons at the end. I bought a Gibson EB5 2013 when Gak kicked them out cheap, had it about a year. Loved the sound, hated the string spacing and never could learn to love the look. One of the few basses I sold for more than I got it, so not all bad.

Its a bargain if they turn up!

I guess they go on the hope that someone isn't paying attention, you only need to sell one then you can throw the others away!

Change its language then it won't.
