Tis a vantage mystic (i think) and a fine bass! The tone is P through and through with plenty of growl. Simular to the westone thunders but passive. The pickups are dimarzio model P replicas. They're amazing. If you've never owned a matsumoku bass get one! Build quality is second to none.
Jump into the unknown for me. I don't really want to part with Si's P but as it turns out they aren't my bag and I'm more than a little drawn to hofners at the moment. Fun times and all change for me again
I have one tonight in bridgend, the snow has meant i have to rely on public transport to get there and back. Thankfully I don't need cabs. Wish me luck :s
TBH Eric i think I may have to come visit you. I've been keeping up with your blog. What a collection you have! We share very similar tastes. I shall bring beer indeed
So you plug the bass into the kaoss pad, the kaoss pad back into the bass for the bass mounted controller to work then the whole thing into an amp and the Kaoss pad basically works an an effects processor but with a drum machine and everything? How many leads run between the bass and the kaoss pad?
