A satisfying job

mbe

Music Radar reaches new heights of ugly hyperbole.

They review the Michael Kelly Elements Jazz Bass knockoff and the dark cloud of scratchy pots has a soothing silver lining.

"Annoyingly, the pots are a bit scratchy, but it's just a matter of taking the controls knobs off and the backplate and getting in there with the air duster. Besides, it's always a satisfying job."

To be fair, they award it 3.5/5 for this £849 msrp bass.

I'm not convinced that's always a satisfying job, nor one that's always fixes scratchy pots!

The reviewer was clearly a bit distracted, and it detracts slightly from the review.

It also has local anti-gravity, since the bridge adds mass but not weight. There should be a Nobel Prize in that...

Observation #1) Reviewer suffering from word count disease. 

Observation #2) Reviewer comments betray a guitarist‘s perspective. He communicates almost nothing to which bassists would relate.

Reviewer probably thinks a ton of lead is heavier than a ton of feathers.
