it is pretty good, at least so far. yes i spy some imperfections here and there, but i think combined with the decent quality, bright sound, and the fact that it's the only fanned fret extended range acoustic on the market it's a fair deal.

If i were to buy again i might just go for the 7 or even the 6, but i think those are both still 25-27, at least based on pictures, and that's a slightly larger fan than i'd like for something with less than 8 strings.

smells good too

im getting a panic attack thinking about that guy and a guitarist with an even bigger pedalboard turning up their amps to drown each other out until the entire room is a quivering feedbacky mess.

i'm more like, what size shoes does this dude have that he can maneuver in and actually hit the smaller stompboxes without knocking poo poo everywhere? also, doesn't anyone drink when they play live anymore? man, i'd be tripping all over that thing.

It's even more of a shame since bass players are unable to move their legs when playing.

Not really the best actuary in the world.
I used to use a fair number of pedals on bass (SansAmp, compression, whammy pedal, chorus, distortion) but now I just can't loving be bothered.

I wish more music was mixed like early Black Sabbath, and had some actual interplay between the bass and the guitar.

Instead we just get some indistinct rumbling that no one cares about. Bass and drums are supposed to be the rhythm that gets people dancing, damnit :(

It was just the best example I could think of. Some newer bands actually have decent mixes where the bass isn't all muddy and indistinct, but they're few and far between, at least in the various metal genres.

It's mostly the retro-style bands that have nice old-school mixes where all the instruments are distinct and easy to locate in the mix.

Without the unique snarl of a Rickenbacker 400x, a whole heap of great music just wouldn't be the same.

I was thinking about it and some of my favorite guitar tones on albums are that way because the bass is high in the mix and makes everything sound more balanced.

I think old recording engineers just didn't understand that low end was desirable in guitar based music. In a lot of the metal I listened to back in the day the bass is barely audible. In some cases it was because the bassist was the weakest player. In others, it was just a production decision.

the worst was the scott burns/morrisound thing on old death metal albums where the kick drums sound like someone throwing koosh balls at a throw pillow

It's a tossup for me whether that, or the too clicky all-midrange no-bass kick drum sound is worse.

E: Fear Factory are right on the edge of acceptable IMHO, mostly because it fits their mechanical sort of style:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3Oo-a-Vaso

I like the kick drum sound they've got, but a lot of other bands (maybe with worse production) tend to go overboard with the clickyness.

E2: Like this, for instance. Of course, everything sounds thin and weedy on this, which just makes it even worse, especially for an album that would become a major classic of the genre:

Scott Burns loving sucked. I was so sad that bands kept going back to him and his compressed garbage recordings. At that time, a lot of bands were starting to put out some really huge sounding material and the death metal bands sounded like they were recorded on little Tascams. It didn't make any sense. Everyone was using him though. He must have had good rates
