Maybe a little more direct? I wouldn't say brash, but maybe a bit louder. The regular Hummingbird was a bit more refined, but not necessarily better per se. I know this doesn't help a lot.

Thanks BoneDigger, it does help. If it sounds a bit woody like Bob Dylan's old worn J-50 on his first album, I might like it.
But I think there is something in the refined, warm rounded mids I'm hearing in the full lacquered versions.
I am looking for it to record well in a band mix and also be a good for accompanying vocals.
Appreciate everyones thoughts, thanks.
