Brand snobbery and much competition I reckon . Used and owned a few Laney rigs over the years , never had a bad sound . A bass player local to me uses a Laney rig ( DPseries ) and sounds enormous Like the look of the newer Nexus , just think its so competive at the pricing and maybe they lack an endorsee or 2 . Must remember where I left / put / stored / my RB9 too …hmmm Gary

No experience of these but as an experiment maybe ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DOUBLE-BASS-UPRIGHT-BASS-FULL-SET-OF-NEW-STRINGS-UK-SELLER-FAST-DESPATCH/321826657830?_trkparms=aid%3D555019%26algo%3DPL.BANDIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20151005190540%26meid%3D59862b9b39884f67a6c75fdb4bd8b961%26pid%3D100505%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26&_trksid=p2045573.c100505.m3226 Its really a minefield finding something that " Fits " ...couple that with "Good " technique too ...rules me out .. Re Your Orch strings .. I reckon theres a few that would welcome that " Dull thump not much sustain " Much luck on the quest Gary ( finishing the festive sherry a week early )

Gotta love a tumbleweed pic ( like the windmills of my mind ) Almost certainly a string issue here FB ......( possibly with a bridge /piezo issue ) For me , Strings are almost the most critical part .. and a constant search / struggle /fun /PITA / expense... ( not sure orch strings are the ideal choice for EUB ) With my rather poor technique I also " compress " to a greater or lesser extent depending ..( assuming you have a note to compress ) The EQ ing of the eub or amp wont / shouldn't have much effect at all on any deadening or " killing " of a note Other things are " action " and ensuring the strings are " seated " and silks /windings not " lodged" or stuck ..either bridge or nut ends .. Strings first and a good set up will make everything betterer . Oh .. make sure youre not wearing the Marigolds when youre playing too ! Someone much more savvy will be in soon I'm sure Cheers Gary ( EUB Hamfist )

Had both the fretted and fretless ( both 4s ) . Modulus neck iirc .. and another ( vastly ) underated Peavey ... Not without fault of course ( bridge can cut you to ribbons ..Wilkinson with piezos ) electronics temperamental ..oddish shape sat on the lap .... Really loved the fretless .. singing tone with an epoxy coating ...very playable .. If you find one for the right money buy it ..Simple ... Ill dredge a pic up of my old one .. Kinda miss it .... Cheers Gary
