I was asked for some sound samples, so here is my best Will Lee impression... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7Iam5TnTKE Recorded direct, tone up full, with no effects or post-processing. The recordings start off mixed, so you can hear the bass in context. Then I gradually fade David Bowie out, to isolate the bass. 0:00 Both pickups 1:05 Neck pickup 2:08 Bridge pickup

[quote name='therealting' timestamp='1457648389' post='3000716'] Does it have decent acoustic volume and resonance? [/quote] No, not really. It's definitely louder than an solid-body bass. You could practise around the house unplugged - but that's about it. You couldn't jam acoustically with other instruments. Also, the acoustic tone has no depth - not very bass-y. (Just to clarify - in a previous post when I said "at home it seems to have a nice, deep tone" that was with a pre-amp and headphones.)

[b][color=#b22222][size=5]NOW SOLD[/size][/color][/b] Selling t.bone Ovid CC 100 mic, plus the clip and case. Comes with mini XLR and full-size XLR adaptor. This is a condenser mic which needs a phantom power supply. I had good results with mic, but unfortunately the 10-piece band I currently do most of my gigs with is way too loud for any microphone. Clips on to the strings below the bridge. Gooseneck allows positioning of the mic.

[color=#b22222][size=5][b]This is now sold[/b][/size][/color] This goes under your cab and isolates it from the floor, providing a more focused and tight sound... great particularly on boomy stages. I always use one at gigs, and am selling only because I have now bought the smaller version due to downsizing my cab. Manufacturer's website: [url="http://www.auralex.com/product/gramma/"]http://www.auralex.com/product/gramma/[/url] N.B. the current product is v2. The one I am selling is the older version (bought new in Dec 2013). 23″ long x 15″ wide x 2.75″ high £35 including postage. Comes with original box. Stock photo for now (actual photos to come soon...)
