Yes it is!

That would be this, which arrived yesterday, NOS: :

I also use a bass fly rig - what do your settings look like?

That's about where I've landed. My only sticking point is that the group I play with most requires a fairly wide array of tones, from pop to rock and all in between. That being said, the sansamp/BFR takes care of 90% of that.

I’m reasonably sure Warwick has a rockbass version of the corvette $$. I’m addition to your list, there’s also the Fender Standard and/or Squier Dimension, which would be affordable and offer a double humbucker configuration.

I regularly use the BFR with my (ampless) regularly gigging band. I generally agree with the statements that the sansamp/di and tuner portion are good, the comp and chorus are very usable, and the fuzz/filter is meh. I keep using it because of the quality of the sansamp, the ease of setup, and...

I've never done a NBD thread before, but I'm REALLY excited about this bass. It arrived a little earlier this afternoon and I've had it out all day. I got a pretty good deal online and from about 2-3 feet, the thing looks new. I was expending this bass to be heavier, but it comes in around 8.7...

I almost always bring my Squier Deluxe Active Jazz V, solely because I'm in groups that demand a five string. I used to bring a backup 4 string tuned BEAD, but now I don't really bother. The DAJV is getting replaced with a Fender American Standard Precision V, that is currently on its way to me...

I said carrots only because I find it irritating that FMIC spends its time limiting options on its USA models and coming up with gimmicks like this... ...and because I'll never directly vote against a PJ.

I’d lean towards the Jazz with rounds. If I had to buy, I’d buy Charvel or Jackson.

I'm in a similar situation, I usually use precision basses and/or 5 strings and have a rumble 500 head and cabinets. I play in a 90s cover band with this set up, so my settings are designed to accommodate the variety in our sets. I play in small to moderately sized (~300) indoor venues as well...

I set the EQ on my amp flat and boost/cut the mids depending on the room. The rest is in the volume and tone knobs on my bass depending on the song. Easy peasy.

Very nice! I ended up doing something similar. The affordability/playability plus upgrades have made mine in excellent placeholder while I plan for a better 5 string.

I have a Rumble 500 head and two Rumble 112 cabinets - I like them a lot for what they are. I walked into the store with absolutely no intention of having a Fender rig and walked out with an affordable, highly versatile, good sounding setup.

Wow - beautiful! Play it well!
