Not aware of the problem with the elites. Do you have any links to articles about that please? There's a lot of top on this eq but it reminds me of demos I heard of 65 fenders which to my ears were very toppy. Can see it compensating well for strings that are getting dull. Quote

The brochure I have says six pounds and it's a lot lighter than my Spector which is advertised as 10lb9oz. The basses in the picture are made from Alder. I have the aged natural which it's made from Ash for the grain. Alder is more dense. Maybe that is where the difference idea... Ash is denser than alder... I suspect there's a typo somewhere there. 6lbs is comically light... 1 Quote
