Looks great but please pop the E string back into the bridge saddle, that extra wide gap is making my OCD hurt. 😅

Bass The World Review He seems to think it’s good!

Will do, I’m not expecting much difference but we’ll see. Interesting that it’s now 9V only, must remember to switch down from 18V on the power supply!

Cheers for the heads up, ordered for delivery tomorrow, straight swap on my board for the V1, it’s all about that metering for me, sure it will sound basically the same.

Yeah I’ve not tried to reach those subsonic limits. 😂

Which effect were you using on the Stomp? I regularly use Poly Capo to drop a semi-tone or two and it works great, although I’ve not tried it below low E.

Stock strings are usually Sandberg 40-100 so not particularly heavy.

I play the 5-string for the bulk of my gigs and it’s fantastic, way better than the American Elite/Deluxe Jazzes (jazz’s? jazzi?) I was using previously.

Reserve fretboard aging must be seriously gentle if there is any, there was nothing that was visible on the two I’ve owned. Maybe they apply a bit of dirt? They do however have a little bit of wear applied to the back of the neck. Masterpiece has the back of the neck nearly completely worn, and aging to the front but it is massively more noticeable on maple fingerboards, I have both rosewood and maple masterpieces and you can barely tell on the rosewood.

Should be able to tell from the amount of relicing. HCA the neck won’t be reliced, HCAR there will be a bit on the back of the neck, Masterpiece will be fully worn with wear to fingerboard as well.

Anybody selling one of these is not of sound mind and therefore not safe to deal with. 😅

I mean, 600euros is quite a lot extra. 😂 You’re right though, it would be more or less the same.

Seems like the Sisma (valve pre-amp, same power section) is the head that’s getting all the attention rather than the Coda, I couldn’t find any reviews or even other owners comments about the Coda anywhere in the world! As a stand-alone bass head the Sisma may well be the one to go for, but I don’t really see the point of pre-amps going into pre-amps, I was getting annoyed that the TH700 I had was colouring the Capo sound. So the Coda was a bit of a punt but on the quality of the Capo I thought a safe enough one.

I played my first gig with the JF Coda head the other day, first impressions are very good. Been using the Capo for almost a year now, straight into the desk and using in-ears 90% of the time, so I wanted something for the odd gig where I actually use backline that was just the Capo sound but amplified. The Coda is interesting being as it’s really just a power amp, no controls to tweak other than input and output volume. Class G instead of class D; might be placebo effect but felt like it had more of the traditional heft that I’ve always found lacking with the class D amps I’ve used. Early days but really liking it so far.

Yeah I get that, I’ve always lived within half an hour of a decent sized city so it was the norm to be able to pop in and pick up some strings, try a few things etc, if you’re more in the sticks then online is great.
