So what is the SUPEREGO?

The original Electro-Harmonix Ego was a microphone booster:

Electro-Harmonix Ego - Microphone Booster

So if they use the "ego" name again it's possibly something for voice again?

I think you are on the right track!

This!

Nö, it is

You, my good friend, are also fucking crazy! You're Malekko hate runs too deep to see the beauty before you.

Not to be a negative Nancy, but those guitars and basses, malekko or otherwise, really are pretty u-g-l-y. The malekko basses aren't terrible I guess, but they certainly don't excite...especially at $1200. I'd hit up Nelson for a custom if I'm spending that money.

I'm not a big fan of the Malekkos either. I think I could take my moolah to better places.

Yeah, I'd assume that style of bass wouldn't appeal to everyone, totally understandable.

I won't be buying a bass anytime soon so I'm not too invested in this topic but I still like to give univalve shit whenever/wherever Malekko is involved..........

Perhaps if they are cheaper, or I snag a used one.

The look like warned over dog poo.

Whats wrong with malekko???

919 butthurt? I dunno, nothing against the company, but that bass does nothing for me visually.

I have no qualms with Malekko, just haven't been interested in much since the E600 days. univalve had a shiity deal with 'em, thus not their biggest fan (and rightly so). Regardless, nothing important, just gently rib the guy now and again on Malekko topics....

EDIT: No 919 butthurt involved, no worries there.

This. I don't hate the malekko bass shapes it's the color+guard shape I just don't like. Also yeah $1200.. I've never payed 1200 for a instrument so if I was it would have to be custom.

Seriously, for $1200 it better be a damn fine bass, and I'm not sure its that. I paid $1000 used for my MIA Fender Jazz, and I think it was worth the money. Visually, the Malekko doesn't look like a $1200 bass (maybe a $6-700), and not knowing how it sounds or plays, I don't know if its worth that price either, but I'm not going to hold my breath. Just my two cents.

no, decision is based on the design and optics. not my cup of tea. but wait, malekko? Fuck it!
