Chiliwailer Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Isn't it just perfect when a new instrument surpasses your expectations? First off, it was the colour. I bought this bass after seeing a set of pictures that really didn't do it any justice at all. When I opened the case my smile couldn't get any bigger. Then when I plugged it in, BANG! The sound is @#*%$$ huge, so powerful and perfectly live Flea. It's got the SD pickup and Aguilar pre amp and even plugged into my cheap mini mixer for headphone playing to MP3's it sounded spot on. I bought this bass for playing along to RHCP tracks and jamming with a drum machine on headphones - it's going to be perfect. So yeah, I'm well chuffed and it fits into my bass family pretty nicely. R.I.P. GAS because 3 is the magic number.

Then again, not sure about that one myself.... This pics don's show the sparkle unfortunately, when a light is on it's dazzling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
