The reason I ask is because I just got my SPA and my Cinnamon in today and I think they are GORGEOUS looking. But when I was buying the Grandpa, I remember reading a comment on Muff's that they wouldn't buy one until it came with a metal panel. This Grayscale thing has become such an industry that somebody was willing to pay me for an old Grayscale panel that came with my Braids that was scratched to hell and back and they were actually surprised that I sold it for so little in spite of the condition. I can't possibly be the only one that looks nifty-looking modules, can I? Even if they are mismatched, I think that the Bastls look beautiful next to the Dwarfcraft, the Synthrotek panels, the 4ms panels, and this DIY Barton drum that I have that has a little comic art embedded into the panel. My Elements is Grayscale, and not only do I think it looks hideous, but when I was changing out the OS, I found out that they took liberties with the names of the inputs. If there's an industry for making your instrument look like a boring colorless blob, then wouldn't it stand to reason that somebody could have some fun and move some product if they offered custom panels with neato artwork? Would anybody else be interested in this sort of thing?
That is weird that they changed their name. I really don't get that. Stillson Hammer mkII does look awesome, though. I'm looking at that and think that would make an awesome substitute for my Oberkorn. Oberkorn is fun, but sliders would be soooooo much more convenient.
100% agree, I love mixing it up and I love cool looking panels. The only thing that bugs me biut bastl is how thick the panels are and that they dont really fit into most racks properly, especially next to other modules. They always feel a bt loose and wobbly. That being said, I'm a mega bastl fanboy and always recommend their **** to everyone. Quattro Figaro is the best value and featureset on any small VCA in euro imo. CV trinity gives more control in one module than anything I can think of regardless of price or size (the only hard competitor I can think of with maths/rampage as an ultimate control/CV processing module in the sane price range) and knit rider is practically just a CR at half the same and 1/3 the price without a couple features I'd never use anyway. All their other modules are ace too
