I'm another in favor of the Breedlove Atlas. Sounds nice, well built, and the Baggs electronics works great. Took a bit to get comfortable with the big body. Needs amplification even when accompanying just one unplugged acoustic guitar. Tried Fender, Ibanez, Kelly before picking up this one.

Well gee BassHappy. I simply made a statement to contribute to the conversation, and hopefully become more enlightened on the problem. Your response was quite rude. I guess el Bandito feels the same. But I appreciate your expertise. Anyway, thank you for your Memorial Day best wishes. Was...

My understanding is that the dead spot phenomenon is a common characteristic of all stringed instruments.

After two Fender Js and one Fender P, all American, Ive noticed a slight loss of sustain at some frets but nothing like a loss of sustain after a second, or even ten. But I always look for this when shopping for a new bass. My P is a 1999 and does not have a significant dead spot as defined by...

When practicing unplugged, I prefer to use my acoustic bass. You can hear finger noise, frets noise, buzz, etc., more than with my unplugged P with flats. I find that practicing with the acoustic bass helps make the P easier to play-- with the acoustic, I have to be more precise with finger...

I think MarkBass sells a foldable wedge that tips the amp up for use as a monitor. Not sure how big that wedge is, though.

Congrats! I play my Breedlove Studio acoustic bass through it and this little amp is a perfect fit.

Easy folks, easy. The real question is: how do we keep the neck on our basses straight as our Earth's weather goes wacko? Do I need more graphite rods stuffed into it? Do I need more than a five piece maple neck with the wood grains oriented in every possible direction? Should I cave in and...

I do the same with my P's: one with rounds and one with flats. It just has to be done.

I thought the same as you and i bought one two years ago. Great amp, and light! I found that it works great in small venues with boomy acoustics, where you can position it so that the "negative bass" emanating from behind the amp bounces off of a wall, that will help with projection of your...

This is a great syllabus for all of us

Wow. Just wow. I am not sure I could restring in this manner without looking at the picture for reference. "Its better to look good than to feel good, you know what I mean?" This does not look good.

Yes, P is for Precision... Which implies therefore that J basses are imprecise.

I say, take your favorite sticker, slap it over the CNC hole, and call it art.

IMO d'Addario half rounds are something you've got to try for yourself to see if that is the tone you're after. They have a tone that is thuddier, if you will, almost "dead" sounding. Depending on the kind of music you play, you may want to consider d'Addario chromes regular light flats...
