- G.A.S. List:
-
The only thing I'm gasing for would be:
G.Gould 5 string with graphite neck & two soapbar pickups and another Börjes 5 string with alder body & maple top and J / soapbar humbucker pickups.
These things are also on my radar:
Le Fay Herr Schwarz 5
Pedulla Nuance 5-string
Mayones Hadrien Feraud Signatur 5
Durham Sex Drive
A great DI box that takes away this awful harshness in the bass tone when going direct into the board.
Would like to check out the Rupert Neve DI box.
