This. Saw a drummer do this at a jam night - snare, bass drum, hi-hat, and one cymbal. His comment was along the lines of "this'll sort the men from the boys".
I'll just search your facebook posts then 😁 But yes, had those issues there before. Nothing crazy, just a little tingling on the lips - fairly innocuous for Kemptown on a Friday night!!
He is one hell of a class act. I had the privilege of working with him back in about 88/89 when I was at a small independent record company. Unfortunately we had neither the budget, nor the know how to match his talent. Lovely guy too.
Didn't they use basswood for these? I know they did for some of the high end, solid finish guitars like the Luke. Or is basswood another name for poplar?
From the few I tried I would agree with this - all the CVs I tried were noticeably superior to the VMs. I bought a VM as it was the style I wanted, but upgraded soon after. I think a CV would have stayed a lot longer.
Absolutely love my 112s, but OP wants vertically aligned. Likewise, I'd love one if they were, to run one with one of my 112s - think that would be pretty glorious!
