    I have no experience with either, but given that the Tech 21 VT Bass got a build in speaker sim filter and that the Digibeth doesn't I'd say probably quite a lot, and I would think the VT Bass to sound more processed and the Digibeth to sound more neutral in comparison in relation to the input signal.

    Well, I am actually pretty good at playing regular 6 string guitar. I think the secret of making a tenor bass (or piccolo bass for that matter) work well is to realize that it is neither a bass or a guitar (playing it like either is naturally always going to end up as an awkward compromise to the real deal), but rather an unique instrument in it's own regard that requires it's own unique approach to playing, and therefor also opens up for some entirely new perspectives and possibilities for creating music with/for it.

    Definitely, gold, or just all black hardware, will look great.

    I stand corrected. But yeah, would have made much more sense if Ibanez had made it a coil toggle switch.

    I think at least it will be worth trying out.

    I am pretty sure that toggle switch was not a strictly speaking a tone toggle but rather a three position coil toggle allowing for switching between having either only a single coil of the humbucker pickup working, or the two coils either in parallel or in series, so how do you have the pickup wired now? If I had been you I probably would have let that coil toggle switch be and instead having replaced the volume pot for a tone pot.

    Strings is a very personal thing, depends entirely on personal preferences, as well as what kind of music you play. Personally I would string it with a set of D'Addario EXL220BT balanced tension: gauge .095 - .070 - .055 - .040. Or even better a custom wound roundwound nickel-plated hex steel core Diamond series set of Newtone bass strings, gauge: .095 - .072 - .055 - .040 : https://newtonestrings.com/shop/custom-bass-string-configurator/ But you'll get a different answer from each different person you ask.

    😱 On, a more serious note, do you then feel this way about not getting to play drums on a regular basis?

    Judging alone from the demo posted in the OP, I got to be honest and say that I think it sounds horrible (and not in a good way).

    I have setup my home practice bass setup right next to where my computer, where I spend most of my average day, is, so that all I need to do whenever I feel like playing or get an idea that needs tested is turn my chair, plug in my studio headphones and the power plug, and then pick up my bass, and on an average I tend to play 10 to 30 minutes, 4 to 5 times on an average day, sometimes a bit less, sometimes a bit more. However this has resulted in me suffering from abstinences whenever I for some reason am not able to play when I feel like it. Does anyone else suffer from psychological withdrawal symptoms/abstinences if not, for whatever reason, getting to play bass on a regular basis?

    I like how it looked before much better, to be honest. But then again I am a big fan of matte black open pore/grain finishes. Important thing is you like how it looks.

    To be fair the Joe Dart I came out before inflation suddenly skyrocketed and ran off with all of us and the cost of practically everything.

    Trace Elliot amps aren't inherently scooped at all, not unless you engage the pre-shape switch (which admittedly though is what many associate with the classic Trace sound. But it definitely isn't to me). Personally I love the way the old Trace Elliot amp sounds without that switch engaged, very punchy, and full but clear tone. And I am one of those people who hates scooped mids. With the pre-shape button engaged though it sounds like a wet fart. But absolutely glorious tone, if you just leave the pre-shape switch alone.

    I wrote a song about this: No Legs Blues I woke up this morning Without any legs I tried to get up But without any luck Oh, I got the no legs blues So bad I can't walk Also:

    This one actually looks and sounds great, very unlike his other Music Man "signature" basses. Not 2000$+ great, but I wouldn't mind having one for free (though I would swap out that ugly gimmicky oversized volume knob. But I do like the concept of just one knob).

    Well, if you use shielded wiring for everything, including the wires from the pickups themself, that is wire where the ground wire runs as a braided shield all along the insulated hot wire, there will be no need to shield anything else than the pickup cavities, otherwise, that is using regular wire, additional shielding will have an effect.
