Skin DEEP - Listen To The Guru

[Elmeaux]

Within 24 hours, the Hudson sent another bass packing - a hapless contender called the Spector Euro.

Could we please have a moment of silence for our --

Never mind.

:::wiffle bats the Euro off the mountain:::

Okay, Hudson, how will you fare against this treacherous monster?

The Phantom Luxman Metal Guru Bass is a formidable challenger for the throne. She's very similar to the Le Fay Remington Steele with the stainless steel, flat radius fretboard.

This metal thunder-making Guru is a 34½ scale bass with...

Maple (top) and Ash (bottom) body
Maple/Purpleheart neck
High-gloss black phantom finish
Monorail 3D bridge
Black chrome tuning pegs

I can hear the growling from here!!

But it's all up to you!!

The champion, Hudson PB4 Project Bass...




...or the challenger, Phantom Luxman Metal Guru Bass.

All METAL!!! Would that be the genre of the music or the construction......

I would love to hear the sustain on an all metal instrament.. COOL

[Basslad]

Killer Phantom. I sense slaughter here.

Ok what's up here? I thought everyone loved the blues? The champs up against the ropes!

[line6bassman]

Come on, get off the ropes dude!!

It's the genre. She's a wooden ax with a metal fretboard.

[TobiasMan]

Well, I won't hold the genre against it, lower cut out gives great access to the high part of the fingerboard (just looks a little odd), and . .


It's fretless - Yessssssss

[Elmeaux]

The black strings on thee Phantom are a nice touch, too.

[Elmeaux]

The only thing I'd do to change the Phantom is to angle the bottom of that steel fretboard to line up against the pickup all across. I don't care for the flat fretboard end against angled pups.
