Location: Brighty in Blighty | Finally the beast has cleared customs and should be with me tomorrow or Tuesday.
I am continually amazed by the volume/tone of the 84C as it's just a SSB, I've heard the 1537 called a tone monster. Now if thats right I am going to be one happy bunny.
I like the SSBs for practising, the 1537 will be used for acoustic gigs and the Adamas W537 (if I find a CB) for recording...
SEE! You *DO* several Os. Apart from anything else it saves time if you play in a variety of tunings (as I do). Just grab the right git |

Location: SoCal | Dweez, there are other threads on this, but in a nutshell, in 2006, when Ovation came out with the Adamas reissues, they had to build new 2 knobber electronics because they didn't have any of the old ones left.
This was good because the old electronics were a 30 year old design. As long as they were building new electronics, they put some time in on the design. As a result, the new 2 knobber electronics sound much better than the 30 year old design. The same is true for the stacked electronics used in the John Lennon reissues and the Glen Campbell reissues. |

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | For those of you who live on my budget, be aware that the newer pre-amps are a bit pricey, especially if you are about to fix something that isn't broken. After reading this thread, I called Kim today because my 1537 is at the mothership now. Suffice to say, I left the original electronics in place. What can I say, social workers aren't known for being flush with expendable cash. :p :rolleyes: :cool: |
