That is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping to hear. And you’re right; I often DO worry unnecessarily about analogue gear. Here’s an example of why: Last year, I bought my “dream amp” for my bass - An Aguilar DB-751 tube amp. This thing is a big, 45lb monster that many consider the best amp available for bass. I bought mine from a reputable dealer, new, and when it arrived, it had a fan noise that was very… “wrong”. I returned it to the manufacturer - which cost me $180 because of the weight, and they said it was working as intended. Well… it wasn’t. I know because my friend has the same amp, and I played one at a shop. They don’t make this metal to metal fan noise. So, they sent my amp back, and I was stuck with it. $2900.00 for a piece of kit that I can’t bear to play because of the maddening issue. It’s a lemon, and the manufacturer doesn’t want to acknowledge it. So… it’s upstairs, in a closet, brand new, and my only option is to pay a tech about $300-$400 to put in some sort of aftermarket fan which will then void any warranty.
So, I’m probably in sort of a paranoid head space at the moment. I am excited though. I think I’ll love this thing. I’m just curious why they didn’t offer the Mark II in a keys version.
Thanks again!
