Bagman

John K says no.

"Worst pedal ever" 

I'm still keen on a  try of the Octave Pedal on the rationale that the Sub Octave in my 1998 Klystrom ABM 400 is actually really good. 

I've strung it with Chromes. Very smooth instrument. 

SS RW were good but just too much for me. 

I don't like the treble knob much. It adds hiss at the high turn as well which it should not do.

My dream bass and it's pretty impossible to find a fretless Stingray anywhere.

A cat over here told me that EB no longer make fretless.

I had a look on EBAY for Fretless 5. Only 1 showed up (Australia) would be about $6200NZ

Not in my zone for something I couldn't play first

How would you say the B2A compares with your steinberger 

Um. They are different things. 

The Hohner was well made and reliable and served it's functional purpose of readying my technique for when I could get a Steinberger. 

IMO there isn't another Bass like Steinberger.

Loving that Bagman, have you ever had a hohner B2A 

Yes. I had one for maybe a year-18 months

I purchased it in 1988 from Charlie Jemmetts Music Store. 

Sold it to help fund the L2.

L2 Steinberger 1983

Brooklyn. 

This was my first major purchase.  1990. There's actually another one in Otautahi NZ. 

One got stolen from a shop in Auckland c.1993 Bungalow Bills. 

I found a defretted one but I really wanted unlined. 

And a long while back a fretless 5 was in Otautahi would like to have a go on that now. IIRC  it had like a switch by the knobs 

'76 Maple

Chromes since 2005(?) 

Great recording bass with a valve amplifier.  

Actually got this from a second hand store , my lucky day. 

2002 2EQ Fretless EBMM Stingray

Had been looking for a 2EQ Fretless for about 5 years. Finally got lucky. Stingray is pretty common over here but fonding a fretless was a ling wait.

Lovely board! The Diamond is a great comp and I loved the Boss Bass flanger 😁

Ta

That Boss Flanger is appropriate for Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie,  Cure etc 

Diamond BCP is amazing with flatwound Precision. Smooth Pillow Fluffy Washing 

There's a cat out this way who really rates that Nux MLD pedal. 

Nice work with the bread board bro👍👍

Diamond Bass Compressor 

Passive Bass w/ flats. 

Very nice. The Diamond is a bit temperamental with Power and/or other pedals. Apparently the new Jnr version sorts this.

Overdrive 

Free The Tone Bass Blaster 

It's very good. Flats, Rounds, Fingers, Thumb, Plectrum. 

The Ashdown Cab under the CTM-300 is an ABM 1510HX from 1998. 

Nice to hear of great customer support from Ashdown. 

Many years ago I played a friends Westone Rail Bass

Ashdown CTM-300

Not sure they are still in production however. 

No Steinberger now?
