Just got this yesterday .. obviously still needs a bit of work lol ... tbc

Let’s hope it sounds as good as it looks

Difficult one trying to recommend a rig for some else .. I tried loads of setups but find it hard to justify having expensive gear when only playing in small venues / pubs etc. Part of my issue is worrying about it getting stolen or trashed so I've gone back to a simple setup : GK 400RB Bagend D12-D J&D jazz bass (modded) Warmoth jazz bass No pedals anymore so 'grit' comes from cranking the amp & 'riding the GK rails' one of the best grind sounds I've heard (my alternative would be using Darkglass B7K or similar), Bagend cab is heavy so no one is going to run away with it lol but I may go lighter (Barefaced) if we gig more, jazz basses just work for me so a cheap modded one is ideal plus a nicer one for home / recording & certain gigs. I was saving for an expensive amp but just couldn't justify it .. In your case 'Stealth' I'd consider either the new Darkglass 500 with a good 4 ohm cab if that's the kind if grit you like or get the quietest (hiss free) amp (I'd go Glockenklang) & find a dirt pedal you like ... hope some of this helps

Just done a deal with George, great comms & payment as promised, deal with confidence

Modded some chrome hardware to black & indeed passive with just a volume knob .. sounds even better passive, however I’ve decided to reinstall the preamp & sell on. As great as this bass is I don’t want to take it to the kind of gigs I do & too good for just home use .. I will stick with passive jazz basses, they just work for me ...

My (fs) Little Lehle will switch between the two & is isolated & doesn’t require power .. shameless plug

Great comms, immediate payment .. deal with confidence guys

Me next .. I’m currently saving for my dream amp but this might sway me before I have enough for it lol

Likewise, Etienne bought a pedal plus some patch cable & paid straight away ... deal with confidence

Nice ! ..... here’s my slightly modded Excess

Thanks ‘Dad’, nice you’ve listened & commented .., think the video is kinda better something rather than nothing tho they can also sometimes detract / distract from the music .. yeah best drummer we’ve had
