I've played one of these, they have one in my local pmt store & imho i really like them, they're very light in weight, it has a slim jazz type neck as well as a very slim body which makes feel closer to your body gives the overall impression that its very fast to play & has a general good feel about it. Anyway i've never being a seymour duncan pickup person but i was impressed with the pickups & the pre-amp built into this, for me the only letdown is the bridge, which felt a bit flimsy & wouldn't keep the bass in tune on a long gig for too many songs. So for me that would be the first thing that i would look to replace. I loved the colouring on this bass, which reminded me of my jazz bass special i used to have in the late eighties, but looking at the paint job closely doesn't seem as good, so i think this bass would quickly get mojo'd within a short space of time if used regularly. I've always wondered what a p-bass body & jazz the pickups combination would sound like & did consider customising one of my squire p-basses to make it like this. So my overall impression was very good ^_^ , if for only the retail price which is around the £600-700 mark but i'm sure you'll see cheaper online, but its slightly more than i'm prepared to pay right now, otherwise i would probably be the proud owner of one.

yes i can vouch for these basses lovely i used to own an all black one in the late 80's

Cheers Alex Pleasure meeting you & doing business with you.

Yeah ! i must agree with d-basser the warwick likes a right beast luvvin' that

Hi all, I believe one of the cabs he's aiming he questions towards is the swr 2x10 i have up for sale. i have pm'd him offering him a chance to demo the said item as he lives not too far away from me. Oh! Aj pm sent

I agree with Toasted, Emg's would sound great. imho they would sound far more punchier & clearer sounding than the Mec's would.

If you look in the basschatters review section i believe that telebass & a few others have put a review about these basses

Hi Nick Congrats on a grand job you have made on these cabs, if i hadn't seen this build diary i would have sworn that was proffessionally made speaker cabs on your final pics. Hopefully when the next midlands bass bash is arranged which was in the worcs/ hereford area, you could hopefully attend & bring your rig. I'm sure we love to hear these in action .

I'm with walman on this, I'm far to much of a scaredy cat to attempt to set my own bass up, much rather let someone wiser have a go than attempt it myself.

This could turn out very interesting, i'm keeping my eye on this thread

I've voted hybrid. I use an Swr sm400s which uses a valve in the pre-amp stage & tranny poweramp. I also have Swr's grand prix preamp which uses a valve & the Swr stereo poweramp which is transistor.
