Yeah, I see what you mean. Magnetics, eh? Nice PU's, I'd personally go for the split-coil Alnico Soapbar, but that's a matter of taste. Actually, if I ever wanted to change pickups I'd put Bartolini's on with Aguilar OBP (even if I always play in passive mode).
Thanks for your opinions, much appreciated. Tell me, are you alright with the almost 6 kilos of this thunderous beast? I also noticed that the lower strap button is farer from the centre of the instrument than usual: is that because of the heavy headstock, in order to balance the bass?
Oh my, I love it. That bubinga body, the matching headstock... wow, I would give up anything just to touch it.
I noticed there are two switches: one I believe is the semi-parametric mid-control centre frequency selector (longest word ever!), but what's the other one for?
Oh, Jeroen, I can see...
I tried them because I was forced to :P, as they come along with every single new bass (apart from those that get EMP's). I'm actually a flats user, but I must admit they not so bad; perhaps I prefer the less zingy tone of nickel plated rounds.
Well, as I said, I'm a flats aficionado, so it's...
Complimenti Jeroen, ottime scelte. I really dig you chose a Bartolini preamp with semi-parametric mid control, can I ask you why you went for quarter-lines fret positions?
@ Flo: Coromandel (aka Macassar ebony) isn't a ebony species, but it's closely related to it as they are from the same genus.
And yes, cocobolo is in the same genus of palisander and also in the same species of some varieties of rosewood.
Well, as far as I know Nordstrand, Delano, Seymour Duncan have their 3-bands preamps with 4 or more knobs in a 2 pickups system. Another good solution would be an Aguilar OBP3 Double Stacked, but this too have the vol/vol plus you're going to lose the ability to by-bass the pre-amp (well, you...
Wow... the guy doesn't know what he's talking about AT ALL, but still I wasted my time reading what he wrote. Time I could have spent playing my 'Wicks.
Sounds like an alembicated, fake, troll.
