Is that an AI page translation or are the marketing team stoned?

 

A friend of mine announced on FB that he'd be putting a set into his bass. I read the description and said "that load of pretentious bollocks has put me off ever using those in any of my basses."

Thanks All, I have picked up one of these locally, it does indeed sound very P like and is comfortable to play, mine is less pristine that the one in the photo but plenty good enough for me.

If one came up near me I would snap it up.

It's interesting how opinions change - thirty years ago you had to pay people to take a Westone Thunder (or a 70s Fender) off your hands

Indeed. They are virtually the same instruments with different logos in some instances. Just one is "hip" because John Taylor used an Aria and one isn't.
