Hope to see ya\ John at the next Chicago gathering (I REALLY hope the good folks at Alembic can set this one up: I\m stoked). I will definitely bring my Series Custom as well!
Speaking of Chicago gatherings I almost had the guts to go through and meet with Henry at Bag End (we spoke on the phone - I think I chickened out) to put together a Rig running the Powered Cabs along with my SF-2, since my bass IS filter-less, DS-5 powersupply and Filtered Power housed in a custom made rack... Series electronics are amazing!
I wanted the increased spacing (1.750) to accommodate some slapping and yet keep the low end going... Mica was pretty persistant to make sure I understood the separation of pickup and fingerboard distance!
How do you like the ebony laminate; no lack of Low end/ fundamental there, right? Nice choice on the old style Hat knobs too.
Awesome 24th inlay. I\ve (also) had the chance to play (The S I-II) at our church Lakeland (E-Free) in Gurnee a number of times; trade off with my Elan 6 string.
Again beautiful instrument, Rich
