When will this see some gig time? I'm anxious to hear your assessment.

Our next gig is on the 30th of this month (I requested the weekends before and after the GTG off). We have a street dance in Dalton, MN, so we'll be on a large outdoor setup, and I will be able to really crank up the Eden and see what it can do.

We have quite a bit of stuff lined up after that, so in the following weeks I should really have had a chance to compare all three basses in a live setting.

Friday night, we are auditioning a new drummer, so I'll get a little bit of a chance to get familiarized with it then.

Love those words!

And, it just arrived, safe and sound. Now I am off to audition a couple different drummers for our band, so it will get a small workout tonite.

Cool Ryan! That was probably tough leaving it there in Greensboro!

Glad it arrived alive!

OF course we need a gig report .........

**Ryan L.** · #**108** 06-22-2012, 03:49 PM

Yeah, it sucked having leaving it behind, big time. But, it's here now, so that's what matters.

I'm just glad it arrived safely! Enjoy!

Well, in short, it sounds really, really great. Played for about 2 hours last night, auditioning a drummer, and it frickin smoked, even through my Bassman 150 that I use for rehearsals.

From what I am hearing, it is coming very, very, very close to nailing the sound I was hearing in my head (and tried describing to Gard) when I ordered it.

This JM might just be the bass that could take the main bass position away from my 3005. My J came close, but couldn't quite do it (although I still love it). Time will tell.

Man, I love hearing that, Ryan! It certainly is a honey of a bass, I bet it's brutal in a mix...

Outstanding, Ryan. That bass is really, really something! Good luck with the drummer auditions.

Seriously gorgeous. One of the nicest around these parts...

^Thanks!

This thing sounded absolutely amazing on Saturday night. The slap tone is out of this world---as close to Stingray-era Flea (or my idea/take on it) as I could ever hope to get out of a bass, without buying an actual MM. The fingerstyle tones were killin', too. I am very, very pleased with how this thing sounds in a live setting, which, to me, is the only thing that matters.
