A new demo video!

Resurrecting a five year old thread, but I just got a RM-610T yesterday. I got the RM800 head two weeks ago. Together they give a plethora of tones. Very punchy, mid forward without being nasal, then you roll in some bass and low mid and the sound rounds out very nicely. The tweeter is great...

I can dig it.

I won a Hipshot Kickass 4 at The Tsunami Bass hang during NAMM. I don’t own any 4 string basses that I wanted to replace the bridge on, so I asked Hipshot if I could exchange it for a 5. They agreed and while I was at it, I ordered some Mini Clover tuners for my MIM Fender Active Deluxe V. It...

That’s beautiful! I’ve always been a fan of Valenti basses.

That is a Low Down Bass T-bird made by Tim Seisser. It had three Nordstrand big singles and a Nordstrand 2band pre. It was a great bass that I just didn’t play enough, so I sold it last summer. I know the current owner is around here somewhere, but I’m not sure of his TB handle. He replaced the...

I took this a little over a year ago some are gone, I either sold or gave them away. I’m down to the MIM Fender J V, the ‘78 Fender P, SX Fretless, Ibanez BTB846SC, and both uprights, Engelhardt EM1, and NS Design NXTa.

Word is $1,699 for the 4 string including a hard shell case. Those Clover cases are built like tanks too!

Hello, hello. I realized that I didn’t make an introductory post when I signed up a few weeks ago. I just kind of jumped on into the deep end. Here’s my basic details. I’m from Chicago. I’m not really a bass player. Ok, that’s a bit of a lie. Yes I play bass but I consider myself a singer...

Let me ask the man, and I’ll get back to you. I’m returning this bass to him today. “It’s so hard, to say goodbye “.

I got you!! Hey everybody, it’s been a minute. I apologize for that, I’ve been super busy with gigs. I managed to put together this video explaining the design and control layout of the bass, with a few demo songs to show three of the nearly limitless options this bass has to offer. I use the...

DISCLAIMER: The bass will ship with S.I.T. Medium Light .045 .065 .085 .105 strings. They will not come stock with the unicorn hair light gauges that I demo in the video. The Jauqo III X Signature Strings are available through S.I.T. Should you want to give them a try.

Hey everybody, it’s been a minute. I apologize for that, I’ve been super busy with gigs. I managed to put together this video explaining the design and control layout of the bass, with a few demo songs to show three of the nearly limitless options this bass has to offer. I use the neck pickup...

Here is video 1 for the Jauqo III X by Clover. I took it to a rehearsal tonight. It played very well and sat well in the mix. I'll be updating this video soon with a run down of the controls.

I should clarify, the Fender J sound is absolutely in this bass, using the neck and rear bridge pickup will get you that sound easily in passive mode. What I meant is the pickups and preamp allow it to have more sonic variety than just the “Fender J” sound.
