Re: Ellis #140
In the Collings camp, by that I mean the newer sound, but with way more bass and complexity. While my Ellis was getting fixed, I played the Collings a great deal and came to appreciate that instrument again, but once the Ellis returned, there was really no comparison as far as tone. This is no knock on Collings, more a reflection on how good the Ellis is. I bought the Ellis soon after buying the Collings MF5. Normally after buying a class instrument like the MF5, I would have put buying a new instrument on hold, but the Ellis just sold me. The instrument that I think sounds closest to me that I have played is an older Will Kimble F5.
