    I own a 25th, which is basically a slightly bigger ASS, with a forearm contour.

    Wonderfully comfortable.

    But I also owned a JP, and it flat own PWNS every other guitar I've ever played in my life. The JP is perfect ergonomic balance.

    THe only EBMM i've never played is a Morse. So I can't say anything about that.

    What's so great about these straps? I heard Neil Zaza raved about them, I'm really interested.

    Nice pictures on the Moody site ...
    But I am always suspicious when a brand feels obliged to show naked ladies for selling their products ...
    Besides, it's leather ... animal skin ... I prefer the pics from the PETA

    as far as I understand the half naked model is also the owner of the company. So it's a all about creating a buzz

    But I doubt BP will do something similar

    As for the balanced of EBMM guitars nothing to say it's perfect both Basses and Guitars (at least for the model I know)

    For me it's not so much the balance of the Axis, but as others have stated the lack of forarm contour takes a get of used to. I view the Axis as the workman-like hunk of wood that you need at gigs. Great for causing physical injury on stage invaders... mind you, I think mines the heaviest on the forum...

    My Silo Spec and especially the Luke feel like they were made specifically to fit my body- effortless... but I do keep grabbing for the Axis on the way out to gigs (that's a figure of speech by the way- I actually lovingly place it in its case haha).
