It would no longer work after the "chip" since the acoustic chamber would be breached in a major way. I hope that satisfies your evil.

First, congrats on the bass! I would drive 200 miles from university and back almost every weekend, but it was all highway at 75 mph.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

A bit of both; well-built highways over relatively flat land at 110+kph speed, and 10+ hours of driving can be a "normal" road trip day.
