Man, here's another killer Classic J from Suhr. I keep forgetting how incredible these basses are. John really puts some special sauce in his electronics, I think. His basses have ass for days.
I'll do a clip of this one pretty quickly, hopefullly by tomorrow...
I also have another one on the way that will be pretty similar. The finish on that one will be Chili Pepper Red. Slurp!! Suhr Classic J (Trans Amber Burst)    |

The only thing about the 3-band is the 3 EQ knobs have to be off the control plate, John's not big on stacking I guess. Anyway, for basses that have more vintage sort of styling (i.e. a chrome control plate, typical Fender colors, etc.), I usually go with the 2-band pre just so all the controls are on the plate. In keeping with the look more than anything else...

I remain either very sad or very happy that he does not offer a five-string bass. The particular emotion depends primarily on how many times I look at the brand on your website. |

Owner, Rocket Music | | Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Blacksburg, VA | | Here's the sound clip! This one was pretty darn fun to do, I must say. And man alive, this bass sounds wonderful!!
This clip was done in my usual "bass orchestra" way. All bass tracks were recorded direct through my REDDI tube DI by A-Designs. In the complete mix, I don't pull any punches with using EQ, compression, FX, panning, etc. I'll do whatever it takes to make the complete mix sound as good as possible. But when I break out the individual tracks, all that stuff is removed and you are hearing the bass straight off the REDDI. "13065 Boogie" (Complete Mix) "13065 Boogie" (Bass Line Only - both pickups, slight bass & mid boost) "13065 Boogie" (Chords Only - all bridge pickup EQ flat, plucked very close to the bridge. Hear the single coil noise?) "13065 Boogie" (Intro Lick Only - both pickups, slight bass & mid boost) "13065 Boogie" (Lead Only - mostly neck pickup, flat EQ)

Owner, Rocket Music | | Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Blacksburg, VA | | Thanks, fellas! That was indeed a fun one. This bass is pretty inspirational, at least it is to me. Being a 5-guy, I wish it had a B string and a few more frets... but I'd almost take it as is just to have this tone. 
No word on a Suhr 5-string. It's on the long term planning horizon for Suhr, but that unfortunately doesn't really mean anything. They've got LOTS of new products on the long term plan.  |

FWIW, I've got a Lull that fits the category of, "It sounds so darn good I don't care about the low B." I've yet to hear a Suhr that I don't really dig, and this one is no exception. Nice! |

For the 1100th time...thank goodness he doesn't make five-string basses. The absolute last thing I need is another bad-ass J bass, but then again, seven days ago I said that the last thing I need is another Roscoe. |
