mica and i were talking about that last week and i need to look at how to get the wolf on the web.
wolf has a definite punch to it- ask-walnut-maple-coco- the walnut adds this
the ash gives it more mid range in my opinion.
i dont have what mica calls the equalizer smile on wolf. has great sustain and thats the neck through
----
thats a question for mica to answer as far as set vs neck through
------
scarlet got a good test run at the studio tonight
it has a definite voice. very clean on the upper end- low rumble bass on the bottom- so many knobs to play with yet. i need to do a slight tweak on the pups. up on the g with the bridge and down on the g on the neck. thats my usual setting. the neck pup is about almost .625 inch below the string and its fn loud. the bridge pup was moved up .375 inch from the bridge to get a bit less highs, that worked fine. i may go inside the electronics one day and raise the output on that pup. one thing i do notice thats different from wolf. this has a little more acoustic for lack of a better term sound. its full and seems to have a bit of compression built into it. its got the heavier guage chromes on it and mica tested it with alembics on it also and is sending me that set to try, i am not a big fan of rounds, but i will give it try when i changes strings
will try to get some photos sat.,
all in all  
its plays really fast and is a great compliment to wolf
bill- from your mouth to gods ears, lol
the audition was just ok.,they played everything slow, lets rock, ok! how bout sugaree? huh?

After you get scarlet setup to your liking I would LOVE to hear sound samples of you playing each bass through the same rig playing the same songs/riffs.  Try to take out as many variables and try to just hear the difference in the basses themselves.
 
btw - thank you for sending me that hi-res picture!  Fantastic!
