Limiting SKUs, it has to be in the top 5 of any process management exercise.

I won Monday morning bullsh*t bingo on several occasions because I sat behind Roger, who was a regular user of ‘lets touch base’.

Yeah. My favorite one is “synergies” (not synergy singular mind, the plural is critical).

Congrats, man. Great bass. Super-playable and great tone.

Thank you, I was comparing between the Yamaha TRBX 604 and the G&L L-2000. This gives me more tonal options than either of them. I love the clanky metal punk rock-ish sound that you can get with the G&L but it’s only got a 2 band EQ and lets you switch between series / parallel for both pickups together.
I do love my Yamaha’s, maybe almost as much as Howard and the TRBX looks like a fantastic bass… plus I know that preamp pretty well from my BB. It doesn’t have any of the pickup voicing options that the Sire or G&L have though. Plus, I’ve sat down and played plenty of Sire’s now and have been looking for a chance to own one. It should get here Wednesday which gives me a day with it before I take it and my 734 to band practice on Thursday.

That’s gonna be a great bass. I do like what Sire did with the coil options.

It seems like a poor man’s Fodera for $5 - 6K less. A lot of the same coil options and it looks to me like Sire copied the bridge.

I’ve had an amazing 30 year career that has enabled me to travel the world and work with some incredibly smart people, leveraging language like this.
FMCG SKU optimisation? Been there!
Secret Squirrel skunk works SKU optimisation? Hell, done that too!
To the original post, cable standardisation, ideally linked to poka-yoke design thinking is great! Who hasn’t got draws full of random cables that only fit particular devices? The move to USB-C, fantastic!!

It’s an homage.
A Sire F10 is a copy of a Fodera single-cut.

I love everything about how Sire operates. The founder is an interesting guy, hard to find much info though or how tightly they are related to Cor-Tek or Samick. My understanding is Sire is more of a design bureau and vision, and Cort manufactures for them (like they do for several others).

From every source I can find online, Sire instruments are designed completely in-house and manufactured in their own dedicated, company-owned factories, primarily located in Indonesia, rather than being contracted out to third-party manufacturers
Neither Cort nor Samick appear to be involved in any capacity in Sire’s manufacturing or operations.

Ahh interesting - note that there is nothing wrong with Cort even if so. But I believe you there, you know them more than I do.
