My Spoiler meets her recently arrived cousin Distillate.

Cheek to cheek

Neck comparison: the Distillate ( on the right ) is a tiny bit thinner.

Oops....these Paparazzi !

......Now I also love Distillates......

enzo, well done and congratulations! another beauty in the bevy. i was surprised how similar the bodies are when i saw the pic of their backsides.

so, kiss and tell us the difference between the two. is one better in bed than the other? tones? weights? body and neck feel? playability?

this is a great bass. I got to play it and help set up the neck at the Chicago gathering and it is a great Distillate with stunning birdseye wood. Congrats Enzo, play it good health.

I the love Distillate too! Here's my Axe with my bag end arsenal too. I would like to get a 5 string series Distillate in the future

These are 2 fine instruments Enzo. They looked even better in person. (Does the wife know about number 2 yet)

Hey OO,
Thanks for the kind words. I love your axe! Man, I'd sure love to play your bass! Do you go direct when you are performing?
Yo Enzo... the proud Poppa!
Swwwwweeeetttt!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Chalie, anytime you're in the Dallas area you're more than welcome to come play it!
Yes Sir, direct and use in ear monitors. This works great but if you ever do use in ear make sure you have good earphones. I have the Shure E-4?s. Not cheap but bass sounds great in them.

Enzo's basses are 2 of the nicest Spoilers and Distillates I've seen. You should try to see them in person. Pix don't do them justice.

OO

Enzo's Distillate is certainly sweet,,, and yes Olie I agree Chalie's rig is to die for.... now that I had the chance to play through Bag Ends I know what I am missing!

chalie_holmes · « **Reply #13 on:** June 10, 2009, 09:49:31 AM »

Ha! Ha! Olie, I'd be a marked man for sure if I were to venture into your territory fully clad in my EAGLES gear. Although I may get a pass how if I tell everyone that I know you and show them photos of that fantabulous bass of yours!!!

Peace-n-out Cub Scout!!
