Never would have guessed that one.:( Had you also included a pic of him playing the piano, I might have gotten it.

Great player.

Maybe people would think it belonged to your other brother DARYL ;).

From what I've seen, get the Bobelock. It looks to have a step on my Mooradian.

Richard, why are you taking over Ken's site? Every time I come over here most of the DB posts are by you and there is very little relevance to DB?
I love you man, but do you ever take a break?

I've never tried the BassMax, but the RSII is a good pickup that sounds very natural. Good output with minimal feedback and clarity when properly fitted. It can be a bit finicky to get just right. I...
