in my basses.

I had Goerge install the lower strap button in the conventional (middle of the bass) position, in order to help keep the bass flatter against my body.

Jason, your band is simply amazing... I wish i can play the bass like you~!

Here are some clips featuring Jason at the very first Bowlus Bass Borg GTG:

Jason and MikeBass playing two of Vic's basses (some off brand )

Jason playing some other bass (gee, also one of Vic's! I smell conspiracy! )

LOL!!

Man, I'd love to get Jason on a VF5 and see what he sounds like.

Tom, after we get back, you gotta' set that up.

Great clips, and I love the playing.

And great basses too, Vic. That second clip especially of Jason playing the chambered 535 was nice. I've always loved MTD's clarity.

Seems we have indeed a similar taste To me, the redwood burl is the best-looking top for a AC. And I wanted the additional neck pickup to get some additional tones that are more "deep" like an acoustic bass.

Yes, I definitely wish I would have got a neck pickup on my AC6, and I toy with the idea sending it back for one when I can afford to, but at least my second AC6 has two magnetic pickups....



Also, not only do I like the redwood for how it looks as a top, I'm told that it helps soften the harshness that the piezo can bring to the tone as well.

So it's a floor wax AND a desert topping!

The fretted one is especially beautiful. If I had to choose another fretted bass, this would be the one. Stunning, and the sound must be amazing. I had a BN5 black ceruse, but I sold it because it was too heavy to play live, my back ached after an hour of playing this 12lbs monster. Sound very nice, though. Edit: yes they are flats, Daddario Chromes. I had to combine the light 4-string set with a lower string... guess it was 40-110.

Interesting. I have TI Jazz Flats on my fretless AC6 right now and love 'em.

I have a BN5 as well, and a BN6 for that matter, and I guess I don't care how much I ache after I play them. That may change over time, but for now the look, playability and tone are just too good for me to pass on.

I keep staring at the photo of your bass, wishing I had a second magnetic pickup on my fretless. :-/

[BassBoss]

I guess it´s not that bad, because you got that little wooden thing, so you can comfortably play on the end of the fretboard and produce a very similar sound which is also very deep and acoustic.
