[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]I know I'm a bit late to join the party, but I've only just signed-up to Basschat and as I have a Variax I thought this would be an appropriate place for a first post![/font][/size]
[size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]I use either my Variax or Fender for gigs and I find that the Variax is able to hold it's own sonically. As plenty of people have pointed out, it doesn't feel as nice as my jazz bass, but I was never expecting it to. I got my nearly-new for just over half the RRP at the time, I certainly wouldn't have paid full price for it. It feels like a £400 bass. I'm into gadgets and so the Variax was too much for me to resist! I think the real strength of it is for recording and I've used it straight into the desk on many occasions. I do find that it can sound a little artificial if the EQ is set to the extremes, but otherwise it's awesome.[/font][/size]
