Which model of Ovation has the richest or deepest (bass) sound to it? I know this is kind of "in the eye or ear of the beholder" but generally speaking.

The Mandocello.

.074" Bass string and octave. :rolleyes:


Followed by the Longneck.

Elites with single epaulets are more bass than those with double.

what are you after?

A round hole, X braced deep bowl non cutaway should have the biggest bass for a general production guitar.
Then again the best one I've ever heard or played is Adamas #3000 (a purple ad 2) Deep cutaway soundholes only on the bass side. Something about the one side only sound holes give more bass.

Will putting a bung over the lower soundholes make the adamas have a deeper sound when played acoustically? Is that the reason for the change in the MEWP to MEII?

Thanks for your replies folks. I have made my decision and have a new addition to the collection. I’m the proud owner of a new Al DiMeola Custom legend! So far all I can say is WOW…
