Bootsy was my first funk outing & within a year or so I owned 14 Parliafunkadelicmentthang albums. Went to see them late '79 when I moved up to London & loved them so much I went back the next night & bought a ticket from a tout so i could get right down the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHUFC BASS Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thats one mad looking bass with an even madder electronic configuration. Nice one - how much did you get it for? Funny enough, I was seriously considering getting a John Moyer Signature Traben as my quest for a cheapish Spector Legend 5 is proving elusive. Been offered one at a great price. Seriously considering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Well, it's arrived already and everything about this bass is just soooo over the top, lol. When I saw the size of the box I assumed it had a lot of padding in it but it's just that the actual case itself is huge! Must be a third wider than a standard bass case. It has a really deep powerful bottom end with everything turned on but not overly boomy or anything. I can now see what they've done with the three Aggie pre-amps. Each one obviously has been pre set for a particular core sound. E.G the 'Ultra low pickup is really deep & powerful and the Ultra highs are simply just putting out high end frequencies. So far I've just been playing with all 5 pickups on and the tone controls centred. I couldn't resist running through a distortion & compressor into an envelope filter - the ultra lows mean that you can get a great funky bass sound without losing bottom end. Will report more when I've had a decent chance to play it properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
