    It hasn't so far, and getting sunglasses is a proper pain.

    Darn, I meant II. Overzealous with the 'I' key :)

    I keep coming back just to ogle. Somebody buy this before I find myself on shipping sites, estimating prices and hoping Mrs. Pook forgets about the amp I just bought

    Thoughtful girlfriend !

    Double post.

    Reassuring in this crazy mized-up world in which we live in.

    That's incredible. His bass sounds exactly like the slap bass sound on my old Roland JV-880. 🥴

    I get this - I think the frets hold the notes on to the fingerboard and if you don't have any the notes slide off the neck overnight.

    To me, slap is possibly the worst way of getting a sound out of a bass, short of hitting it repeatedly with a stick. Oh, hang on a sec...

    Are they not even standard 4-string J-sized ? Odd.

    4-string pickups on a 5-string bass is unusual, I think we're just chewing that over.
  12. ahpook
    Well, that is basically the answer.
  13. ahpook
    I strongly suspect the same.

    Stunning. GLWTS.

    The only '5-string in a 4-string' pickups I know of are EMG, but they're soapbars so not really what you're after. None other spring to mind

    In my experience, 5-string jazz bass pickups are usually wider as they have to accommodate the extra string - to fit a 5-string pickup in a 4-string housing you'd need to find a that was the same dimensions...not something I've come across. Have you a replacement pickup in mind ?
  17. ahpook
    If you could find a 5-string jazz pickup narrow enough to fit I see no problem.

    The Microbass II can act as two-channel preamp with adjustable gain on one channel- cheaper used than the III.

    Always been happy to ask the obvious question.

    I like the 80/90s styling. The V4BH (which this basically is as far as I can tell) had a more classic look, but...this one has a red V. That's so much better

    It's certainly a lot more manageable weight-wise than an SVT Glad you got your stack though - I be it sounds formidable !
  22. ahpook
    Right - it's an EQ thing, gotcha. (I can be on-topic, sometimes) What's the intended effect ?
  23. ahpook
    That sounds like a punchy tone
  24. ahpook
    Indeed - can anyone give some examples ? I'm a bit in the dark too.

    They were indeed - this one in St. Louis. The construction looks top-notch, and being 90s, not an surface mount component in sight- a joy to work on.
