  1. Indeed, the USA made Cirrus line appeared in 1997, just a year before the end of the TL-Six series. Mine is from 1989, first year of TL-Six model.
  2. Better low end definition and overall (faster) attack thanks to the added headroom to the preamp, always worth giving a try. In short, the preamp won't be pushed to its limits too fast.
  3. As you know it Russ, I own a first generation TL-Six in not such an immaculate condition: amazing basses indeed.
  4. After a couple of months, Mick?
  5. 9 years.
  6. The Glarry Glitter... For those who didn't get it. 👌 @King Tut 🤣
  7. They are so proud of their work that didn't put a name or logo on the blue one, ... just in case.
  8. Sounds like me trying to play with a tendonitis: I even can feel the electrical discharges.
  9. Congratulations! 👏
  10. All right! It's Zee Wango, Zee Tango...
  11. Strangely they both committed suicide even if Roy Buchanan's suicide is still a bit of a mystery, if not doubtful... Loved the way they both played guitar.
  12. My guitar hero during the 90's ! Thanks Jack.
  13. Don't think, act!
  14. Tried to put it in my nose, but it's too big.
  15. In fact, the batteries (18 Volts on the Frankenstein Bass) are in the original P-Bass routing, so all you have to do is make a cover and screw it there. Check the video below where Lee Sklar explains everything about his Frankenstein Bass. Skip the intro and start at 1:03.
  16. Don't forget the producer switch even if there is none on his Frankenstein Bass. I like your raw finish, which is close to Lee Sklar original Frankenstein Bass.
  17. Strangely @ped there is a Mick Karn vibe in your sound when there's 80% balance of the rear (I still don't know which pickup you mean) and 30% tone, and I love it.
  18. Where did I say that it's a new concept?!? 🤔
  19. Thanks for taking me for an idiot. So, if you want the explanations, it's not what you wrote as the 4 coils are especially designed to have the two P-Bass pickups types, plus any J-Bass configuration (parallel, series, outer or inner) or anything always hum-cancelling plus the 4 coils wired in parallel or series, or 2 coils in parallel and 2 coils in series or the opposite, so a real 4 coils pickup, sorry. These Quad Coil pickups are in fact very versatile and have ... 4 coils.
  20. I don't see the point @TheGreek, and you don't seem to understand that there are newbees everyday on BassChat who don't know that it's already been "advertised". And what a selfish behaviour to state that! 🤦🏻‍♂️☹️
  21. Bartolini has been making Quad Coil (4 coils if you prefer) pickups in a few different formats including MM for decades... And the Lakland is using one as stated here in their presentation: https://www.lakland.com/product/usa-series-55-94/ Fact is it's indeed a long boring useless video for sure and the guy on the right is not 100% clean. That said, the Andertons videos are as useless especially when Nathan starts turning all the knobs of what they are testing just to make sure they ... turn (I have no other explanation 🤦🏻‍♂️ ), but he and Lee are both excellent players, which makes a difference.
  22. I had a few Bongo's, but even if they sound quite good, but not terrific (I'm addicted to luthiers basses), to me, the Bongo even looks uglier in the flesh... 🤢
  23. And the chassis is from the TC Electronic RH series. 😉
  24. @40hz your analysis is perfect, and you're right, as others mentioned too, the more than ugly bad taste Ernie Ball (MusicMan) Bongo really represents the 2000's. It appeared almost like a joke in 2003 and is still there (almost) 20 years later, when everybody was persuaded it wouldn't last a year... So, designing a bass looking like a toilet seat is the way to relaunch the sales: it says a lot about how the bass is perceived worldwide! 🤦🏻‍♂️
  25. Nice cat and bass too. That said the letter represents the nut width, not the profile: A = 1 1/2" (38,1 mm aka 38 mm) wide at the nut. B = 1 5/8" (41,275 mm aka 42 mm) wide at the nut. C = 1 3/4" (44,45 mm aka 44 mm) wide at the nut. D = 1 7/8" (47,625 mm aka 48 mm) wide at the nut. Most of the P-Basses have a B nut, when Jazz Basses have an A nut. That said, I found my long gone 1964 P-Bass with a D nut the most comfortable neck ever...
