Hot Dang!! Let's end the exchange of differing opinions!! I mean c'mon, what were we thinking when we joined this thread to constructively critique the instruments that make us so happy? I know I look in the mirror every morning and can not in any way improve on this Adonnis! and then to my dealings as a human on this mortal coil, hell, in no way could I ever tweak anything and NO amount of constructive crticism would help at all because my friends and colleagues just love to tell me "yes" and "wow, that's musical and inspired, it's not behind the beat and in the wrong key".....
I agree this rant of a thread's been going on for a while but half of that is due to folks gettin' their britches in a knot over the fact that some folks would like to see some tweaks or options added/changed to their already beloved instruments.
Nobody has questioned the quality work and dedication that goes into building a bass from MM, nor has anyone slandered anyone or anything from SLO, that's always been in the highest regard! Some guys just wrote that they would like different stuff but if this is going to start turning into a <looks down nose> uppity "that question was stooopid" kind of a forum then.... I just think we're all above that kind of attitude.

ps. the "knob" thing, Sadowsky's pre-amp knobs are way smooth ,granted with no centre detent, but they're insanely smooth and easy for on the fly changes, not a huge deal and I have no problems with the knobs on SRs and SR5s but it's not that stupid or petty of a question!
