Holy thread resurrection Batman!
I've been looking at this recently, and from the handful of bass reviews online it seems pretty impressive. Rumour has it that a new batch is in the offing, and I'm seriously considering it.
To be fair, I'm pretty happy with the Realist Lifeline/Headway EDB 2 HE/Genz Benz Shuttle combo I'm using at the moment. In rehearsal recordings it sounds like a DB to me, but there's always that urge to get a little closer to the unamplified sound, however that's achieved. We've got a number of festivals over the summer, as a trio with Drums, Mandolin/Octave Mandolin & Vox, so filling out my sound a bit would be nice, and I want to make it as easy and quick as possible for the soundfolks to get me sorted, just give 'em a DI feed and Bob's yer Aunties' live-in lover.
So, a few years down the line, did this turn out to be a long term winner, or an overcomplicated, over rated pain in the neck?
