It’s been suggested (in a related post here on TB) that I try having the neck steamed flat, and I may...

    Kiesel B24 preamp upgrade recommendations

    Hi everyone, I recently picked up a pre-owned B24 built in 2020 (Brian Bromberg signature). I haven't plugged it in a ton but I've noticed while trying to find a tone I like, the bass is very heavy and deep and recently it sounds like I'm plugged into a distortion and octave pedal. I emailed...
