Captures are a still image of how the gear was set at the time. If you wanted a capture to be distorted you’d be best capturing it in that state. Most captures come with multiple versions which are the gear in different states. the drives sound great in the anagram though I’d just use the SVT model and drive it with pedal models/NAM captures.

Yes I think the later Sire's are better, I had to reseat the bridge on mine, and replace the tuners as one failed. The intonation adjustment was limited as the adjustment screw went into a blind hole in the saddle, I had to recut the nut as well, but it was a later generation 1 so those issues might have been resolved. I don't think I am incredibly picky, and set up is partly a question of preference. All I did on the Anaconda was very lightly wire wool the back of the neck, which in effect recreates playing in the finish.

I'm also having hearing issues. Last weekend I thought I was playing out of tune while my tuners indicated I was perfectly tuned. Daryl

The two worst basses I've owned were a MIM Fender Jazz Squier series (weird one, it was an actual Fender, not a Squier) and my last MIM Precision. Sometimes cheap copies are better than the real thing.

I was working on a show in Berlin at the time and was originally a member on BassWorld when I received my call up papers for Basschat on 19th May 2007.

I like those pics. Very clean ! Daryl

Halloween In Heaven - Type O Negative

My poor photo does not do the bass justice. It look much better in real life. The retailer's photos capture the finish much better.

It finally arrived on May 1st. Great looking and sounding bass. I haven't sold it yet, but I am tempted. The neck is too chunky for my taste. Not as bad as some others I had, e.g a black LT with Fishman Fluence pickups. I am telling myself that I will get used to it, but I just played my Euro Mike Starr signature that has a nice thin neck (probably modeled on Mike's Kramer era NS-2) and it felt sooo much better.
