[quote name='Schnozzalee' post='763409' date='Mar 3 2010, 09:51 PM']Tried Vmaxblues' old Arpege, the tone will stick in my head forever. Dunno if it was graphite or what but I got butterflies - real driving rock punch.[/quote]
That was a pre-graphite one, with a brass laminate under the fingerboard, I think. Very cool bass. You can't beat 'em IMO! (well, I prefer the Passion model to the Arpege, but only a bit!)
