The regular ampmaster 5 balances well on a strap. The headless version is actually slightly body heavy which is awesome on a strap.

Ampmaster has the bridge a lot closer to the bottom of the body so the bass should be shorter. I love my Ampmaster 5

The latest picture on Sweetwater shows that the Studio 15 now has a speaker output. this picture is at the top of their page. When you scroll down they show the other version with 2 ports and no speaker out Does anyone know what the truth is? does it have different specs now too? Can't see...

No......it was during Covid and I always wanted a bass that was specifically shaped to use with a slinger strap.

I used Perplexity. If you follow the links I posted you can see all of my questions and the models answers.

The second link asks about a more optimum cab if it is bigger. It suggested 2.5 cu ft. Then I asked where the sweet spot is if I want the smallest cab that can handle a 5 string it came up with 1.5 cuft in line with a barefaced mini and super compact. I was impressed with the speaker...

Check the nut slot and if it is wide enough and sloped away from the frets as others have suggested, just play the bass a lot for a couple of week to let the strings settle in, then check again....or just accept that it is going to be a little bit off if you can't tell the difference when you...

Try raising the pickups a little it makes the tone more aggressive

That is a great head, I just broke mine out again last night with a Barefaced Super Compact and Super Mini so basically a 2x12. It was glorious with the low boost switch up. The only thing I miss from the RB series is that Boost control. It provided a really sweet growly overdrive that I...
