Aha Another one for tomorrow then My mistake you did ask about the Zygote. I just got carried away with the SGC. Still not sure what model it is ? How would I tell ?

Lee With the cheapest nastiest strap I could find (think it came in a lucky bag) No neck dive. It sat there braw,very well balanced and very comfortable. Mornats No an easy thing to compare. The SGC is set up and sends her thanks for reminding me to care for her needs So easy to get playing sweet. It's really difficult to compare the two, after years of playing anything that was available the SGC was the first I bought and it must be twenty years or so I've had her. Kinda like your first love it's hard to be objective. Despite being slightly thicker in profile the Evo has a good easy neck to play,it's light and as I've said balances well. The two single coils are a nice touch and give the bass a loud vibrant tone. It's a good bass no doubt about that. The SGC well you know just how good they are.After that wee bit care this morning it's been great,with all this gear I've had this year picking up the bass I know best and just playing was a breath of fresh air,no fiddling with pots to find sounds. Howie Sorry Man. I'll get on to the Curbow tomorrow.

I've seen a T 40 butchered like that The horror the horror

Thanks I'll see if it's still there tomorrow after I put some funds in the bank. Haven't a hope in hell though

There's another one coming up for £259. Congrats on getting that one though. What a steal

Must all be sold At £218 I was interested but can't see any now.

Can you still shim the neck AT ? The high action could be causing some of the intonation problem if it's shortening the length by a lot.

That's what it means floFC , it should have said each coil .

Mornats I'd love to tell you tonight but the old girl is baldy in need of TLC. Like an eejit I threw new strings on her a few months back and then left her.Fret buzz,lousy action and a dead 9v. Can't see me tackling that the night sorry,but it'll get done in the morning. Cause she's worth it. Howie just saw your post. I've never A/B'd the two.. Another one for the morning I'm afraid

Mines is Volume top near strings, Blend next still top . Along the bottom curve are Bass,Mid and Treble. With treble at the bridge end. The tone controls are 3 in a row. It's the same set up as the Cirrus.

Lee4 The Evo is very comfortable to play.For a 34" bass it seems like a short . I don't have the photos to compare them directly so 2 different photos will have to do 1st the Evo and the Curbow are both 34" the white Dean is 30" [attachment=180029:White Basses.jpg] Here the Curbow is next to a P bass and a 28" Mikro[attachment=180030:Curbow Scale.jpg] With the Evo being so close in size to the Curbow it's easy to see that it's a compact bass. Still 34" and 24 frets you just don't have to reach far. Now that might mean wearing the bass higher up. With the limited time I've had recently, mostly I'm just sitting plugged into a wee practise amp, I can't say for certain how it would be in a gig. But here's a man who can [url="http://guitarz.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/bass-guitar-review-probass-retovibe-evo.html"]http://guitarz.blogs...tovibe-evo.html[/url]

That's the way mine's are Twincam. Bass Mid Treble Vol Blend Bridge Pickup Here How does yours differ ?

Just had the back of my 2. Chinese and Indonesian. Volume is the 1st, Blend is at the bridge pickup. Below it goes Bass,Mid and Treble working back. Particularly fine bass you've got yourself there if I may say so. Looking at the manual they've just repeated the numbering from the Passive to the Active. Silly sods

I remember Phil using the G 77 with Grand Slam, but it was more a stage prop. The electrics were whipped out to make it lighter. But having a Google this morning unearthed this Don't know it it was a promo shot though. Ibanez made the G77 and G88 for Roland and Phil was an endorsing artist for them.

Just got word from my pal in Chicago that it's shipped. Yip molan was $125 and just made the dimension limits. Whipping the neck off would have been cheaper but that would be beyond the capabilities of my mate. When I asked if it was in a hardcase or a gig bag he said " just a box " with visions of smashed basses I told him to put another layer of cardboard round it that's when he discovered it was in a hard case. I'll be polite and say it was a new experience for him

I think it'll be Monday before Probass is open again. I tired to catch Dave and ask but missed him by 10 mins. Zygote's has a similar neck to the Evo. 38mm nut,24 fret and 19mm spacing. It differs in using 4 screws to attach and it's a tight fit, you won't slip a fag paper in the join.Same black hardware and strung through body set up. It has 2 MM humbuckers this time with room for a third 2 V and 2 T controls. Very light ,You'll be lucky if this weighs 8lbs. The trans red finish is a pest to photograph as you can see,tried my best with the £5 camera. I'll try and answer any questions I can folks.

Hi Lee I've had an Evo for about 8 months I think.Dave at Probass was having a promotional auction,the Evo and Zygote ended up mines. A really decent and well put together bass,lightweight too.Quite a narrow neck ,38mm nut and 19mm spacing,nice binding job and the gloss finish doesn't feel too thick and heavy.Easy to run up and down. It's the Saturday Night Fever finish,Black and white with the inlays looks the part. Finish is well applied,strung thru the body,solid black hardware and neck attached by 6 screws. How does it sound ? Loud !!! Seriously that single MM packs a punch.I'd just finished playing the Curbow and swapped to this and BAM. I was wearing headphones and it took me by surprise Thought it was an active bass at the time.Right punchy sounds from this. I've been noodling with it while typing and now I'm thinking about adding the Stinger circuit Dave sells. Cheers Lee you just cost me £30 odd Anything specific just ask away. Happy Hogmanay 2015

Two purchases in two days from Gareth. Both arrive today One was only bought yesterday,Result. Top Man no messing around, Vox Amplug and wee Pandora both posted on the day. Looking forward to further dealings in 2015 Cheers Gareth.

Took advantage of Davids recent string clear out and a set of chromes arrived today. Very easy man to deal with. Many thanks David.

Christ seeing Nick's one just brought back memories. I had one of these. 1st bass. Bought it for £1. The heads were snapped off the tuners so I used pliers to tune it. The pickup was held in with nails and the pots were mounted on a plywood oval also nailed on.Nailing things to semi hollows is never good. Played it through my mam's music centre. Wonder what the hell happened to it?

Well they want you to GAS for a MIA but start on a Squier then go for a MIM or MIC then hear great things about a VM so back to Squier.Play that for a while and buy a MIJ. After many years and £1000s spent you get your MIA, by then you're too heavily invested to complain so aim for MIA Custom Shop next I must add I've never owned a Fender so take this with a pinch of salt.

Chris is right. Been following a thread elsewhere where a guy A/B'd a Chinese R*c and a R*c. It's been interesting but one thing mentioned was some sellers on Ali don't have the basses, they wait on orders then run out to the shop and buy one. Explains the stock pictures you see.
