Oooh now thats nice, and with a classic headstock to boot, not a fan of the headstocks on the other two basses. I was really looking at £800 max so this is bit expensive for me sadly but definitely worth a look, cheers EBS Freak

Morning I'm trying to find a nice 6 string jazz bass with jazz string spacing (18-19mm) that doesn't involve selling a kidney to have a custom job. I have found two models that fit the bill. A KSD V70J6 - [url="http://www.adirondackguitar.com/electricbass/ksd/70_6string.htm"]http://www.adirondac.../70_6string.htm[/url] And a Bassmods K6 - [url="http://www.bassmods.com/K6-6-String-Bass-Satin-Just-added-2-4-11_p_8.html"]http://www.bassmods....2-4-11_p_8.html[/url] After doing a bit of reading I've heard mix reviews over the build quality of the Bassmods model which is a shame as it looks like a beast. The KSD I would anticipate to be built very well for the money due to the Ken Smith name. However I can only find these models in the states and I'm a little aprehensive of forking out that kind of dollar without trying them first, especially if it'll cost $100 to send them back if I don't like them. Does anybody have a contact or any idea where I might be able to get the KSD model imported to the UK. I've looked through the dealers list and there's no UK dealer at present. Or can anybody suggest an alternative? Cheers

[quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1329157565' post='1538119'] So, how did it perform? I'm keen to hear your thoughts. Cheers Geoff [/quote] Ok here's my two cents The build of the amp is brilliant, very strong and looks nice. It has a great sound and the EQ is really responsive and easy to cut or boost. I didn't like the VU meter. It's size made the needle a little too jerky to read nicely. My main idea for getting this was to replace my ABM 500 III head with a smaller, lighter head. However comparing the two the MiBass seems to be missing something that the ABM has. I can't put my finger on it, maybe it's the anologue power stage compared to the MiBass' digital power stage but something didn't feel right when playing through it. Much like when I play guitar through a Line 6 amp or a traditional valve amp, there is something that doesn't quite feel natural through the digital amp. This isn't a digital amp vs analogue amp tone snobbery thing, far from it, the MiBass sounded great. Also although there is only 25 watts between them I found the MiBass didn't have near as much headroom and was struggling at the gig. In the end I swapped back to my ABM head. It could be that I like my ABM head too much and was looking for reasons not to change. I really did like the MiBass and was hoping it would sound similiar to my ABM. It's compact size, weight and desktop use is great and if I could afford it I'd keep it as a backup unit. But I would still insist people try one if they interest you, I could be that I'm just a little crazy

Woo hoo my Mibass 550 has just arrived, sadly I'm at work so can't use it till the gig tonight. First impressions though nice and light, but not too light that it'll get knocked of a cab easily and the knobs and sliders feel very nice. Very impressed. Can't wait to hear it.

I've got the cash now I've sold my bass, sadly my local shop is out of stock so gotta wait till next weekend. EDIT: Scratch that, just found somewhere online with one in stock. Delivered tomorrow, gigged tomorrow night. Boom!

Friday Bump! Happy to meet within a reasonable distance.

I can't emphasise the flawless condition of this bass enough. It really is 'out of the box' mint and looks unplayed. A stunning 6er and a lot of bass for the money.

As soon as I can free up some cash I'm ordering a 500 version to test through my cabs alongside my ABM EVO head and if it holds up the head and all the rack stuff is going. If I can get hold of a camera I'll get some video/audio comparrisons between the two.

That's good going dude. Must be over a month now of secret bass loving ha!

Working on a cruise ship I played in front of the original Stig & Stu Francis. I also did a gig at the Dublin Castle in London in front of Ben Miller from Armstrong & Miller. Good times.
