I know, I know. It's something I had to look past too. I think they just wanted to show the tones it tries to emulate.

I'd push that thing into FAAAAACCEE MELTIIIINGGGG territory.

yah. just looked at BassEfx. i mean, i'm sure it's fucking fierce, i just have no OD lust. the B3k nails exactly the toanz i hear in my head and the Elements is a Beast Of All Crushing.

looks neat though.

..... not that big a fan of stickers on pedz.

also, find The Raid and watch that shit. it's like if Tony Jaa did a crazy violent bloody version of that kinda fun Dredd 3d movie.

it's GOOD.

There seems to be a lot of bullshit argued between people about what is considered medium scale...

You looking for 31 to 33" scale length?

That's the Indonesian one from about a year ago? If it is, I've been meaning to put it on my list.

Yeah, something like that. I can do 34" but a wee bit shorter would be more accommodating for my baby hands.
I'm not against short scale but I wanna keep a good amount of definition / proper intonation since I'd probably tune to D or C.

Cheap is good haha. but I'm willing to look into things as high as the $600 mark I guess. Or higher. Iunno. Also, growly/gnarly pickups are a desired. Buckers are nice. Preferably passive but whatever.

also, since it's Indonesian it's like watching a Thai martial arts movie.... any "stunt" where somebody looks broken and unable to walk at the end of it, there's like a 82% chance that actor's dead or in a wheelchair.

THEY. DON'T. PLAY. OUT. THAR.

Well I guess in 3-5 weeks I'll let you boys know how that Darkglass Vintage sounds. It seems like it's supposed to do what my Swell does......minus one footswitch for a different gain setting BUT $100 less and at less than half the size. We'll see. I figured TBers love Doug's smegma so much (kinda guilty myself) that if the Swell wins out I'd be able to sell the Darkglass at what I bought it for.
