Do you want to sell it

I disagree - a studio is a very different place than a live setting. Besides my original question and the reason for this post is for ideas and suggestions on how to “feel” what I am playing

Thanks - Since I fly to play theses gigs it would need to be portable

I use Sures 869s - they fit me well and they seal well. No other musician plays a low frequency instrument - Drummers “feel” What they play because they have a direct connection with their instrument, they are usually on a riser

I fly all over the place I can’t be bringing an amp with me

I play at a lot of venues where, 90% of the time, I don’t have a bass amp onstage—just a mixer for my in-ear monitor mix. The problem is that I just can’t feel the bass. I can hear it just fine, but I don’t get the same physical response, and I don’t play my best because of it. I’m thinking...

Since we can offer our opinion, in my opinion that does not sound good at all.....too woody and woomy

find a shop or store that you can play it yourself, you wont know until you hold it and play it....everything else people suggest is subjective and pretty much useless

35" scale though....and you feel it

Depends how much magic your budget allows...... The OP is talking about costs and worries about spending too much, I was just giving options

Any bass with soapbars in a modern position will get you a similar tone. Roscoe - Sadowsky - Peavey Cirrus - Jones - MTD - I've even modded cheap Yamaha BBn5s and got 90% tone or a smith

I have owned 3 Peavey Cirrus and Lots of Sadowskys.....I would say if your budget is lower get a peavey but note that it is 35" scale...you will feel it.... Sadowsky Moderns are amazing, I would get a Japanese (2000s era) or if you can afford a NYC get one......german metros would be my last option

With CNC machines it would be no issue making one

I have played most preamps and my top 3 favorite: John east Sadowsky Nordtrand 3 band

Give it time - let it grow on you. Play it as much as possible
