I am looking at a new 6 string solid body bass and would like some opinions. The potential choices are a Joe Veillette custom neckthrough 6, a Modulus Quantum 6 or a Modulus TBX (neckthrough) 6. Hardware is really similar, Joe uses Citron pups, I would pick Barts for a Modulus and Bart NTMB...

cost for black tapewound?

So the Rolands can handle the low B...great. I want to keep the setup as simple as possible, so I think I'll take a closer look at the Roland line. Thanks

I've got an absolutely beautiful Chris Larkin Custom 6=string acoustic bass with piezo pickup under the bridge. My friends and I would like to do an acoustic trio (female vocalist, guitar and bass) at some local restaurants/coffee houses, but I know I will need some slight amplification for the...
