Cheers,
I compared this bass against the Canadian ABZ, and Canadian Afterburner II, while those two basses where fantastic, i loved the Combustion for A) Being Active and having the layout of Pickup Volume, Pickup Volume, Treble and Bass, this is how i like my basses as its incredibly easy to dial in many different tones, i plan on doing a video playing a few different Jamiroquai songs with this bass to show how versatile it is, the ABZ was a passive bass and the combination of Ash and Maple was a bit too zingy for me and it sounded muted compared to the Combustion, the ABII sounded huge and played beautifully, but for £3000 i would expect so, i felt more comfortable using the Combustion on a daily basis and not keeping it under lock and key!
