After 3 tries I give up. I sent the 3rd one back to Gibson. There is nothing they can do to help, so they said. They were very embarrassed at the condition of...
Andy, Joey's an old buddy of mine and is not one to spread bad vibes about ANYONE.....is this all true? What's the skinny? I was planning on ordering a...
... I've got a call into Jim Rosenberg, head of Epiphone. In recent discussion with Ned and others nothing like was ever mentioned. The plans have been to...
You don't want the basses then ignore the post. I've deleted them from the archive. If you missed them don't worry. Ken has been a longtime & active member...
I'm curious to see exactly what's happening with the Synapse and I'm sure that will unfold definitively in the next couple of days. I'm suprised that nobody...
When I wrote "I think this is a bit of an answer", I was referring to the fact that the discussions here online do have some visibility at Steinberger, but I'm...
I really like my TranScale also. The only thing that I would change on it would be the dots, other than that it is a pleasure to play and sounds great! Troy ...
Yeah, I just received my Synapse 5 string fretted and after about 10 minutes of setup, this thing is scary nice. I have basses twice the cost of the Synapse...
... Has anyone actually tried changing the dots one way or the other? I'm wondering how difficult it would be to find some material to use to cover up the...
... I might have misread it, but I thought what Jim was getting at was that the fretless bass Synapse was being discontinued. I didn't get the impression he...
... Hey Len, that was me. It still hangs above the bed, though I broke a hand back in January, so I haven't been playing much lately. Still, everytime I pick ...
Looks like there just dropping the satin finishes. Major problems with quality control. They have been having very low sales volume and return problem. I'm...
No, and I dont have a camera. Look at M YO. I had a Hohner gt3 and traded it at GC the other day. I had gotten a RTrem from Music Yo but it was different...
I'll second that: I'd have bought my TranScale 6 months sooner if I'd been able to see/hold it in a store. That kind of money for a unique style of instrument...
It's really no different than buying a Paul Reed Smith, if you want a certain model, color, etc... I wanted a PRS hollow body spruce in creme with birds and...
I hate to jack the thread and suggest something that's not a headless bass, but if you're looking for a good fretless, the Peavey Cirrus may surprise you. I...
Except for the white, they are all satin finishes. MF has a very liberal return policy and many people, such as myself, do not have easy access to a guitar...
Hmm, I just received my white synapse 5 string and it is satin. Built late last Sept. I had to clean it as soon as I took it out of the case. It came with ...
... I wasw under the impression the white satin to gloss change was decided quite some ago. However just today I've heard that the large gaps between Synpase...
It was the grime issue that got them to go back to gloss white, but the others stayed matte. The others were originally gloss. Odd that you would get such an...
7 mths is not THAT old. See Andy’s note, there was obviously some overlap in manufacturing timetables as mine was built the 26 of Sept. must have been one of...
Mailorder houses stock thousands of different items. They live on turnover. They can't afford to inventory stock for long periods of time. So, yes, 7 months...
... Plus the common turnover tactic is to try and move the oldest product out the door first. There are also several other caveats: - We're assuming there's...
... Just got the official follow up from Jim Rosenberg, President of Epiphone. Here's are a few relevant excerpts: =================================== "The...
... This is excellent news, to hear about the Synapse line in general........ I'd heard some people hint that the Synapse line wasn't selling well in general,...
... I know right now that expansion includes a 4 string and 6 string bass. I've not heard anything about piezos on the standard scale guitars or trems or...
