I run my 90 Elan strung with DR Lo Riders through my Edens with the EQ set flat and it's quite meaty.

Oops, sorry, the reason for the picture was to show the lack of dark woods.

I played a Rogue 5 with no neck laminates at Bass Northwest last week. Wow, it's made me completely forget about the Wal. Deep, rich tone that goes on for miles and miles, and that's even without the electronics coming into play. This is DEFINITELY the way I'm going, but alas this Rogue was spalted maple and I greatly prefer the darker top woods (call me traditional)

I think I've tracked down a NOS Rogue 6-string! It's more than I wanted to spend, but I don't think I'll ever find a new Rogue six again for this price. No neck laminates, but a beautiful top wood. I've been looking hard for one of these for four months and haven't seen one on the used market with neck laminates, and never another 6.

snag it quick before someonelse does. Justify the cost by your needs and the availability of such an instrument, especially if you can't afford a custom job. That's what I tell my wife evrytime UPS or FED-EX shows up at the house. Whooooo!

I have to put my $.02 in here. While my Excel has great tone, my Epic has a much deeper and more powerful tone. I was never too crazy about the looks of the Epics, but after I bought one my Excel is relegated to backup
