At the end of the day, in a loud rock band scenario, most of us would be hardpressed to hear the difference between a Kalamazoo KB-1 and the Melody Maker EB-0. Le müdbückré is the defining characteristic of both basses and boy does it define!

In fact, the Kalamazoo sounds more focused, has more attack and is more compressed - altogether more audible and assertive. The woodchip body has that condensed sound of many composite materials and the bolt-on construction and the maple neck add a little clarity and cut. I actually prefer playing my Kalamazoo to my Melody Maker.

(patting head with overemphasized attention): Yes, your Melody Maker is of course the nicest, little Hiero!
