cetera Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I like big butts and I cannot lie........ But visually the control side 'cheek' is just too fat/wide for me.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) I love the whole white and gold thing, but the body looks a bit squashed to me. Edited March 15, 2020 by Cosmo Valdemar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassalarky Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Very nice, but not a fan of the XLR socket being on the front like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulboy Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Could this be a design collaboration with Mark King? 32" scale length and 30-90 gauge strings as standard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfrasho Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Yeah, not overly keen on the squashed body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says on the page that it would come in 6 of their standard colours and with a natural neck/fingerboard (as a standard model that is) so I guess that’s less flashy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcus bell Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 I think it looks great, certainly a MK influence as mentioned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassApprentice Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 As others have said, just needs a touch more refinement on its squashiness. Looks a bit too wide at the controls. Sure it sounds ace though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Not for me, looks “dumpy” and the controls/switches are too much. a compromised signature model... I also wish they’d sort out the pickguard on their standard model. “Can’t figure out what to do here...” ’just draw a straight line mate...’ They feel lovely, but can’t look at them for too long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Marcus Bell (Employee at SIMS) - otherwise known as @OC-2 ?! 🤦♂️ I know Sims have chanced it before with promoting their wares on here without paying - I've turned a blind eye even after emailing and being ignored... but this is pretty low. Enough to put me off ever buying one, anyway. Guys - one last time - if you want to advertise, pay like everyone else... 2 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s very kind! Just wish I could play better with my fingers. To be honest, It’s only my preference because of the pick and learning to play on a Ric. If Id have come through as a fingerstyle Fender guy I’d likely struggle with it too. Ive only heard good things about your playing BTW! Never had the pleasure of seeing you play yet though. Get that band up and running!😉 Edited March 13, 2020 by 4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
