AAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHHH..........!!!!!!!!!!
Replicants everywhere... and Wouter found one that's stolen my mod...!!!!!

... Blazer was the kinda guy that, in the old days, would call an N/R Thunderbird a BaCHbird...
"That's TWO SKIN-JOBS walkin' the sales floor, I need you to review them... "
"Uwe's good, get him to buy some..."
"I would, if he wasn't so wrapped up in this case he's on; I need the old reviewer; I need you Dekker..."
"I was finished with Replicant Designs when I came in here, Blazer; I'm twice as finished now..."
"STOP RIGHT THERE... Dekker! You know what you are, you're European...!
"No choice, huh...?"
"No choice pal..."

I really REALLY like the look of that First Act Delgada. There's a pretty decent review of it I saw in BassPlayer magazine last summer (I think there's a video of it on their site somewhere). And they had a few dedicated players. I just wish there was somewhere I could actually try one out without having to buy one.

Also, did anyone read the specs on that ESP.
    PICKUPS :     (Front) Seymour Duncan SJB-1n (Plastic Covered)
         (Rear) Seymour Duncan SJB-1b (Plastic Covered)
    CONTROL :    Master Volume , 2 Band EQ , Dummy

It has a control for dummies. Not sure if it lets you control them, or is only designed to work with dummies.

Could mean a single coil mode with dummy coil for hum cancellation.

Japanese copies from the seventies often had dummy switches / knobs.
Not nonnected, pure for looks to match the original.

Maybe the ESP was built in that tradition? 8)

I like the look of that First Act Delgada, except for the headstock, looks like a squeezed plastic (sex?) toy or something.
Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.
