I couldn't resist adding to tghis thread! I have a SR900 in an amber finish. I totally love it! It's a really well balanced bass and the curved profile at the back is really comfortable. It's a great versatile bass, superb feel smooth fast neck, great attention to detail and really, really well made. 100% satisfied,! I've owned Status, MusicMan Stingray, an aray of Fenders, but this is my best yet! J

'Played there about 5 times before, it's only 10 miles away from me, I need medical help if I can't find it!

I think a lot of us have had similar ideas. As for parts, you should try eBay, some sellers out there are a good source of stuff you'll need ie- endpin, machine heads, tailpieces etc... This guy is very reasonable:

Thanks guys for your thoughtful replies! Lots to think about in the new year. J

Hi BB, and thanks for the reply. I'm putting my DB into a Hartke HA350 with a SWR 210 cab- wonderful for my electric, but I'm still getting a brittle tone from the bass with feedback! I thought that the preamp wmight help more than it is, but the difference it makes is quite small. It is however quite early days and I really need to spend half a day just tweeking the many controls on the Fishman. My main angst is the thin tone and the feedback. I sould take it for a bit of a setup (the bass that is...), probably in thenew year. I will also be fitting aluminium bridge adjusters also soon. Cheers, Jon

Hi been using a K&K Double Big Twin with limited success for some time! I've started using it in conjunction with a Fishman Pro Eq Platinam pre-amp, but I've haven't had much time to experiment with them together. Anyone using/used similar? Jon
