Agreed - it was based on a conversation with Alex about handling capabilities, and also personal experience after that chat, but it has to be clean - it don’t do dirty at that level of wattage
I quite like it, but can’t help thinking that us fussy folk (well a proportion at least) if it had been redesigned would be in the other camp saying how I can’t believe he changed the stingray shape.....
Good buy that is - nice work and a nice pedal.
That DP3X is also fine, but you will never get to grips with it in an afternoon in a shop - it’s probably about a full week of gentle tinkering.
Anyhow - congrats
That gouge really is not too deep and it’s in a position where Thomas Rissel would naturally place his thumb as it’s his sig bass.
Playability is by no means affected, in some ways it adds another position to rest your thumb as a nice ‘natural’ shelf - on top either pick up and in this bit.
