    I've just bought one from BassDirect. It's a 2013 model and has a coil selector for the humbucker instead of a 'slap switch' thankfully so on paper is the same spec as a Lakland 55-02 (which was my target, but half the price). I agree with other reviews that the preamp isn't the best, but when bass/treble are generally ignored I found cutting of the mids to be most effective especially for getting a good Stingray sound. I may upgrade the preamp in the future but wouldn't spend a fortune. But I think decent pickups (e.g. Nordstrand/Seymour Duncan) would turn this from a good instrument into a great one.

    Read above, he's already ordered an L-2500.

    A 1979 Ibanez Musician MC900 from PMT Birmingham for £250. I sold it 2 months later for £750.

    BassDirect tend to be at the highest end of the market but find somewhere else as well stocked in Europe. If it had been there 6 months they might take a drop but not so soon.

    Id say £1500. Because that's how much the one that just went up on BassDirect is you're referring to

    It sounds to me like you have no idea what you want and are just listing a load of basses in your budget. You aren't going to get the answer you want on a forum.

    I've taken 2 basses to a gig once and swapped half way just to feel like there was a point. Since then one has always been enough and I know it's solid enough that it wont go wrong. I wouldn't dare gig an active bass without a passive switch though.

    That Brubaker felt like a log. Seemed too hefty, didn't like the satin finish either. I'd suggest a Lakland 55-01, again.

    [quote name='chardbass' timestamp='1435690942' post='2811551'] It's a good price but in a buyer's market it needs to be [/quote] It's far too cheap especially with these upgrades.

    Lakland 55-01.

    Like anything, there is no best only personal preference. Except Dean, they are crap.

    Stunning, although it'd be great if you could post some detailed pics.

    I did my Yamaha when I was drunk. Went quite well.

    I had a natural one of these for a little while, very refined instrument and extremely high quality. Good price here too.

    In theory yes, I have them on my Yamaha RBX775F but I wouldn't attribute too much to them monorails.

    Hi all, I've had this about 18 months and this is long enough for me to realise I am not talented enough to keep up on a 6 string ! It is in reasonable condition for a 10 year old instrument with only a few dings on the back and side, the front is untouched. 35" scale with EMG-HZ pickups and an EMG BTS preamp, it is a very refined and modern sounding instrument with active tones in place. You won't be getting classic Jazz tones here, this bass would be fantastic for those looking to jump into the 6 string arena without spending a huge amount to get a great bass. The holoflash finish is amazing and needs to be seen first hand to be fully appreciated, but I hope these pictures show it as well as possible on a screen. Currently strung with R Cocco strings (steel). [attachment=194377:DSC_0451.JPG] [attachment=194378:DSC_0570.JPG]
