@gryzew20 күн бұрын
Sunsmile is like a Chinese factory that I think makes a lot of OEM/rebranded stuff besides their own brand. There's numerous stories (one or even several similar on Scott's Bass Lessons) how even a cheap P bass copy oftentimes just works better in the studio that some buotique basses with exotic woods, complex construction and active electronics. Leo Fender and his "got it right the first time" designs man.
