New SUB1 - and questions...

Pots do not sound very much... you loose seme treble with 250k pots. The disadvantage of linear pots is a very quick and strong volume drop at one point turning the knob. Until that point you can turn the knob quite a bit without loosing much volume at all.

This guitar originally went to GC.. It was made on 9-14-04, and the color is Textured Red.

Thanks! Is textured red the same as cinnamon?

I'm confused, if you look at these images, mine doesn't really look like either the red or the cinnamon - or any of the other colors...

Yours is definitely the Textured Red. A lot of our colors can take on different looks depending on the lighting. That picture of cinnamon looks really brown. I'll see if I can find some pics in different lighting.

Aziah, first off - thanks very much for the prompt response. I think it's great you folks are monitoring these forums so closely. It's probably safe to say that these aren't "just" guitars for most EBMM owners - they're objects of passion. Even though I've only had mine for a couple weeks - I LOVE IT, it's a delight to play. And to have this active participation from the folks who are directly responsible for creating them makes it more special.

I can tell already, my SUB1 will not be the only EBMM I will own...

Anyway... I'm not in a position to argue about the color - if you say it's red I''l believe you, but... It sure looks more purple/plum to me - I imagine you saw the lead photo in the thread, it's pretty close to accurate. I see hints of the color in the edge of the cinnamon photo - although not really on the front.

Regardless - thanks again, your feecback is greatly appreciated.

Steve
