    It's 10lbs, there or there abouts. Balances really well and feels proper solid.

    I've had one of these from new (from GAK, RIP!) and I can vouch for their capabilities. Great cab, EXCELLENT price. Recently the bass gallery in London was asking a LOT more for one of these babies.

    I just took a look at their website; now there's always going to be some smart Alec that will comment to the contrary, but the whole business seems to be being carried by their proxy association with Macca. Less core instruments than Fender. I was actually quite surprised they had a couple of guitar models and upright basses.

    Spray it black. Problem solved.

    Yeah, I wouldn't be happy with that either. Maybe try a smaller retailer? They might be able to send a pic first.

    When I read the title I thought unless it was sold as book matched then don't worry about but having looked at the pics it would bug me too , that said I'd way rather have bass 2 than bass 1 given what you said about the fret work and neck relief

    Being nice to sound techs is common sense I think. But I don't think that precludes me noting that, as it becomes more about driving complex software interfaces, a surprising number of them aren't actually very good at mixing music with their ears. One thing I have noticed, and which was corroborated chatting to a touring engineer for the band of an old friend at a gig this weekend, is that a lot of house systems appear to be EQ'ed for an empty room. He said once the audience turns up, he often ends up having to push a ton of mids through the mains to compensate system EQs. The perils of preset system design.

    I use stereo and have a full stereo mix of the band in my IEM. Each guitar panned to opposite sides, bass in the middle, kick in the middle and overheads/rest of kit as a stereo spread. Lead vocal in the centre and BV’s panned off centre. I love this set up.

    That would be a bit too much of a mismatch for me to accept, I think they need to do a more in-depth search to find you one more matching from their stock, you need to be happy with after all or you’ll always be looking , good luck

    It’s fascinating how we all perceive sound and decide what works for us. In have been through multiple, precisions, jazzes, stingrays, Warwick’s, overwater etc and for the last 8 years i have settled on a stingray. It’s one of the few basses I can hear well in a big band, it cuts so well. I play it in a funk/soul band and a 90s pop/dance band and it just seems to work well for most things. It’s one of the few basses where I have ever had compliments on the sound. I have a 3 band eq and run it flat with small boosts and cuts depending on the room. Adjusting the mids on the bass and amp seems to make the most impact for me in terms of flexibility. when I first got one I just boosted treble and bass which sounded great doing crappy flea impressions at home but struggled in a band situation.

    In my case, I never had a U4. However, I had some interference with some wireless going in 2.4 so I bought directly the U45. My other bandmates (3 people) uses the U4 without any issue. Open question for the guys who use stereo. How do you setup? My Sennheiser XSW is capable of stereo, but I just used it to mix the bass in one channel and the rest of the band in the other.

    Thank you. Yes, i feel it's a good price for an instrument of this pedigree and versatility

    To a very different budget, I'd imagine! I've got a Cort Persona 'Lavender Phase', which has a poplar burl top - and they sure as hell bookmatched it. While I wouldn't be expecting 5A mirroring from Cort, both the examples the OP received are unacceptable in my opinion. It's not like it's a rare/exotic/endangered wood [which is why Poplar burl is the facing du jour for budget/mid instruments].

    Two basses. Major issues. (scratchy pot on #1). Try another brand.

    ...I smell a book matching conspiracy - I wonder if he has a family member who works for Gibson?!

    They don't really offer a wide range of basses. However, I remember the brand featuring a lot in bass player magazine in the mid 90s.

    Thanks rao, that’s a very early one by lee Perry, probably around the same time as Long shot by the Pioneers , actually I just found this, In 1968, reggae pioneer Lee “Scratch” Perry launched his first record label, Upset Records, with the single “People Funny Boy
