Funny, this is my last purchase, with floating pickup too. I modified it a bit, removed the pick guard and made holes for pots.
Ibanez AF71 BK

Just talked to my friend the other night who was saying his favorite bass sound was that of the Pro-1.

Isnāt it through AH too? (filtering)?
Yes indeed.
MD > LPB2ube > AH (filter, no or little overdrive)
And 2 fx sends: Space (distorted reverb) and I think an H9 delay.
I have a clean demonstration of MD and LPB2ube here: Machinedrum + analog filter/overdrive - experience

Got this handmade 4 osc monosynth made also from repurposed materials by tim kaiser (dot org). I love the stuff he builds, classic style
. Thought it would strangely compliment my Elektron boxes. Used it on my last gig. Doesnāt sound all that great, but itās āfunctional artā man!

Sold all my Overdrives and Distortions. Got these to make amends.
Burnley = Itās the Harley Davidson of Distortion.
Wessex = Overdrive.
Pros: Everything, and Noiseless.
Cons: foot switch so hard you need construction boots.
Intentions: Bring the joy of Christmas tunes to the deaf and hearing impaired.

Interesting that Ibanez used a stop tail bridge for this model of archtop.
I just saw that they sell now for EUR888 coming from EUR1999 at Thomann ā¦ unbelievable. Is it extreme reduction ā¦ or are the normal prices way over the top. Must be a bit of both I reckon ā¦ .

Same principle as yours, no? (Beautiful btw)
I donāt know how to call that kind of bridge.
I may add an Humbecker on my guitarā¦

Thanks! Yours is as well.
Mine has a wooden bridge rather than a metal one like yours.

Normal price for a Deluxe EXL-1 in the US is $1700 which is in the middle between the most expensive and 2nd most expensive of the Eastman laminate-top archtops. DāAngelico does not make a competing factory model for the solid-top Eastman archtops, which are well over $2000, although they had a luthier in NYC making $7000+ DāAngelicos for a limited time.
Discount to less than $700 makes the Deluxe EXL-1 quite a steal. Iāve tried other hollow archtops that are normally priced at $700 or less and none of them are at the same level of quality with regards to tone or playability - imo of course
