GAMECHANGER_4_BLK_RW_Back_TN.jpg


Not much different at all, now I see what you guys are talking about. (The 2nd picture is a GC\Reflex rear)

We are talking about filling that little notch on the Reflex\Gamechanger as some sort of revolutionary innovation thats going to drive 1000s of sales? :confused:

You want us to believe that there are people that are saying NO to the Reflex because that notch is there but YES if it wasnt? Conversely, how many people are saying I'd buy the Reflex if it had a bigger notch? I dunno man, if the bass is awesome & has a fantastic package of electronics, neck, bridge, tuners, craftsmanship, price I'd buy it. The size of the notch is way down on the list.

Come on man, the differences between those 2 pictures can't mean the difference between 1000s of sales or not.

"Come on man," try & comprehend the concept -which apparently you do not; I'm explaining it, but you....:D

I suppose I could always do something more constructive, like roll preamp tubes, :rolleyes: but anyway...

To address your comment- The rear view of that bass was inserted to respond to the bolt-on "issue" of building an SC.
FWIW:
THAT particular instrument is a mild SC design, also primarily a chambered & piezo/mag bass. It's An ABG , with a very dedicated Acoustic sound and timbre inherent in it's design...
NOTHING at all like the Reflex, except that it is also a mild SC version.
How does the fact that those 2 basses have a similar shape have anything to do with what I brought forth in this thread?
Do you like argument for argument's sake??

Nobody but you ever stated that this premise (An EBMM-SC) will be a "revolutionary innovation " That's a toxic, ridiculous, and misleading response, and it FAILS, big. Get it together, in your post-responses when you disagree, for whatever reasons or agenda.

LOOK at the other two instruments which more represent the extreme and/or defined SC shape, and then consider if you can, that several times I mentioned that what would drive 1000s of sales? are the facts that:

1) The BMW and/or EBMM SC design would more than likely be angular,radical, different and off-the-hook.
Got an answer to that premise??

2) The MM electronics, either an existing package or a new pre-amp etc in a SC shape would be a total win.
How about an answer to that?

3) The same bang-for buck price point that all MM Basses deliver.
How about that fact?


Hey You wanna argue, go ahead, you're easy & I'm game, Have you played a SC?

They even sound good when performing "Ring of Fire" in matching cargo shorts!!:D

Or, even better on something with a deep-pocket, like this:
DJ for wedding london - YouTube

Or even more to the point, title-wise:
Gap Band | Open Up Your Mind (Wide) - YouTube

GREAT bass playing in that one!!!


See? Something in a EBMM-SC for everyone!:D
