Thats me on both counts, I like both..relic’d and bling 🤩🤩 Edited January 26, 2019 by bassfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t feel rough to me, but not *quite* as smooth as the back of my Sadowsky or Mk I TRB6 for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the price differential - I'm guessing the Sadowsky is like £2k+ (?), you'd kinda hope / expect a step up in finish. 19 minutes ago, bassfan said: My 2 pence worth... don’t it do it to that lovely cream one Andy.... do what you like to the burst...I’m allergic to that finish 😂 I actually totally agree with (at least the first part of) that sentiment, Paul!
