I'm showing my Jaco ignorance here, but why is it called 'The Bass of Doom'? 

Wouldn't 'The Bass of Bibbidy BipBip Burp, Ber Diddle Diddle Dup' be a better name? 

That was Bill Cosby's bass.

What a wonderful memory to have of your father.

Thank you. 

Bridget Kearney’s solo stuff is a good listen too.

I love the band to pieces, but I find this pretty bland. It's very 'singy' and in the style they went to around Stadium Arcadium. I want rapping, slap bass and some funk, damn it!

 

P.s - It seems Anthony has modelled his voice on Hagrid in parts of this song.

 

Hagrid 👏👏 good spot. 

Two Wal mk1’s. The fretless in particular is very special to me. Bought for my 21st in 1983 by my Dad, who unfortunately passed away just two months later. Obvious sentimental value but the fact that it’s a truly wonderful thing helps immensely. I’m 60 this year and this bass feels and plays as good if not better that it did 38yrs ago. 

My go to. Owned since new 1983. 

1987 wenge 1983 American walnut Wal custom. 

Chowny SWB1 pro for me. Huge sound from a small bass. 18v super loud too. 

Twins you say...

Nice gear Nick though you make the first one sound like Triggers broom 😂👍

Frank, you won’t be disappointed. I also bought one unseen/unplayed. After a wee tweak on the frets/nut, as I like the action super low it is a fantastic piece of kit. Really nice thing to play.  

1983 Wal custom fretless. 

Yes it is indeed a 30” scale. It plays really well with a fast neck. Action could and will be a bit lower but that is by no means a criticism , just personal taste. 

The sound is really punchy and the emg’s and active circuit give it a wide range of sounds ?

First impressions? Fantastic piece of kit. Loud as a loud thing too !

Hi, I have one too. It's a lovely thing to own and play.
Difficult to fault really though I did fit a Schaller bridge to it.

Clearly I'm biased but fie me the mk1 is the best shape. Personal taste will dictate shape and finish but playing on is the proof of the pudfing

Love that story Monkey Steve 👍

Hi, is the bass still for sale?

Have a look in the affiliates section where scrumpymike has posted his comments and there are also reviews on Scott's website.

Thanks buddy

Hi all, does anyone have one of these or experience of playing one?
The standard active bass at under £600 looks like a bargain to me, if they are as good as the blurb would have you believe
