    Big fat tone. I wish Yamaha would issue a 6er of these.

    After reheasing with 2 bands here my findings: - incredible versatile preamp, 2 channels, 2 overdrive settings, plus Boost/solo option (say: eight different volume levels/sounds at your foottipps ) - lots of power, lots of headroom, diggin' harder and even harder into your strings projects in a linear fashion, no intrinsic compression (well, you are on your own to provide even dynamics) - sorrily, my unit does not work stable with 2 Ohm speaker load. After 30 secs or so, high current protection kicks in and mutes the outputs. 4 and 8 Ohm loads work stable at even silly volumes. (had an email exchange with Mesa Tech Support partner in Europe. Only option is to upgrade the power amp. I'm not convinced to go this way.)

    Thanks for all the nice offers. I may consider trading with regards to high class fretless 6, say Vigier, Lefay, Kost and the likes. Open to offers, cash both directions possible. Cheers Marc

    Whatever may happen to currency exchange rate within the next days and weeks: if you send me 2,200€ and take shipping costs, I'm your man. This bass has a mean growl to it. Intonation is great and chords play easy and sound clear, transparent and without mud. B-string has same volume as E- or A-string, lively harmonics and usable notes even in higher positions. Open pores and oiling make for great haptics. Weight is massive: 5,7kg Electronics work passive and active Bass has been played, but not much usage the last years. I did some oiling and adjustments.

    The story http://marcblum.de/instrumente/sign_custom/sign_custom.html (sorrily german only)

    haha, the TL-6, best value/price ratio ever. Payed 550€. Bassculture pickups, neck veeeryy broad. My drummer loves this one, always disappointed when I bring in some other bass. These Vigiers are outstanding. Best neck profile / playability of all basses I ever owned. Attack faster than traditional basses, but a bit softer than typical high end instruments. Very well suited to all kinds of music.
