Cuzzie Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Good man!!!! I did tell y’all it’s punchy as hell. You think atbthat weight it’s a toy, butbits a serious piece of juice. Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 I have raised the pickups a bit - I'm used to an Aguilar P in my main bass so the Js are a bit quiet in comparison. Just raised them to balance it a bit when swapping basses. Tomorrow will be the first time in about 8 years that I've used a 4 string. There will be wrong notes!

Cuzzie Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 There are no wrong notes - just slight disconcordance leading to a new direction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Here's an insane comparison. My Mono Vertigo gigbag is 6.2 lb empty. This bass is 6.58 lb. The bass is almost as light as the bag! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 I’m wondering about rounds or flats now. Mmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Rounds keep That Punch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 I found some old daddario nickels lying about so I’ve put them on. They feel like 35-95 (for my Les Claypool attempts) and I quite like the lightness on this bass. Big band rehearsal tomorrow morning! Can’t wait. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Rehearsal went like a dream. Needed to re-eq my amp a lot from my usual bass (mostly P pickup) but once I got it dialed in... lovely! Used an Octave pedal to deal with not having a B string and all was good. Very punchy indeed. Did 1 slap tune this morning - Uptown Funk. Had the B3K circuit on my M900 on a little bit for a touch of grit and it sounded massive. Also did Superstition; Havana; In the mood; Zoot Suit Riot; Don't stop me now; and probably something else I can't remember right now. It really sits in the mix well. I've got 1 more rehearsal before the easter concert so I'm thinking of gigging it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 You have to gig it. Its quality - it’s made by sandberg, the pick ups are phenomenal, and it’s über light - so light you could go back to lugging tube amps to make up for lost weight! I don’t slap and this bass made me want to - Bring the Power Back RATM sounds mint on it really happy for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
