Harps Posted May 7 Posted May 7 Had a good blast last night. Really like the bass. I had to do a little set up adjustments which isn’t something I’m that good at but it’s playing really nicely now. one, possibly stupid, question though - I can’t seem to adjust the next pickup at all. I’m presuming I should be able to raise it? It just feels very tight and won’t lift at all. Quote
wingnutkj Posted May 7 Posted May 7 You should be able to raise it - they're just screwed in like Jazz bass pickups, so maybe the pickup cavity is a bit snug. 1 Quote

80Hz Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Well I impulse bought that black one which popped up on Andertons, so thank you to @Harps for the heads up! It’s an eye catching bass and the metallic black is flawless. No rippling or other tell-tale signs of “budget” finishing. I basically concur with @HeadlessBassist on tones - my favourites are middle switch position with the neck in single coil mode, bridge in series or bridge in series on its own. But lots of options to play with. Pickups are pretty neutral voiced but nothing a bit of EQ or careful choice of preamp couldn’t add character to (I did particularly well with a Sansamp profile on ToneX). Lovey neck, profile is very comfortable. My first roasted maple neck, really like the deep caramel. Nice piece of rosewood too which will get better with a little oil or Montys relic wax. Frets are great with just a slight hair of sharp ends here or there. A quick dress and it’ll be fine. I would concur on weight too, probably in the 9 lbs area but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall it’s got a bit of personality and nice to have a twist on the traditional formulas. Even if it is strongly inspired by a RB! Hopefully not the last bass from this brand that we’ll see in the UK. 1 Quote
