I am not one to bash the MEC electronics; personally they remind me of Ken Smith's preamps: a heavy boost gives very healthy, distortion-free active thump/bump/punch/growl/add-descripton-here. I wish I could get this tone out of my Peavey TL-5! Fretwork is FLAWLESS and the action is wonderfully low. Bell-brass frets = awesome. $1999 shipped Paypal accepted (add 1.5%) at gbh82@yahoo.com. Will also accept M/O, Cahiers, personal (must clear), cash; free shipping to the ContiUS and $50usd credit to outside US sales! Thanks for looking! |
