I couldn't resist... Bought an Ashdown roasted saint with a soapbar humbucker. I had bought another one, in black, earlier this year, with a PJ configuration, and it has become my favourite bass ever since. This one doesn't disappoint either. That single pickup sounds very powerful. The green...

I play in a band that tunes down heavily, and I always wondered if an aluminium neck is worth the price.

My Franken-P/parts-P: It's not perfect; the neck's slightly crooked, since the cheap Chinese Jazz bass neck didn't fit seamlessly into the pocket of that Harley Benton body, so it did need quite some shimming and some DIY solutions, but it is definitely playable, even with the rediculous...

Found a Spector Performer 4 last week. Brand new, last one in stock, with a nice €60 discount as well Heard a lot of mixed stories about these basses, but I do like it, no active electronics, so, very simple. Thought it'd sound a lot like my old Ibanez GSR200 or EXB404, due to the reversed P and...

Gigging with the self-built Franken-P. (Harley Benton body, Chinese J-neck, EMG Geezer pickup, aluminium pickguard). This one has a huge output for a passive instrument, I like it. 😊

Bought one earlier this year, in late january. Was trying out a few cheap/budget basses in a store close to me, when, all of a sudden, an employee brought this one out of storage. Love at first sight and first play, so to speak. It's got a nice light weight, due to the poplar body, but not too...

I had one of those. Sound was okay, but you need an EQ after it. Sadly, it is fragile, mine broke after about a year.

Looks like a Microtubes X variety. Let us know if it's any good whenever you have tested it.

Ah, it was delivered yesterday. I have to say, it sounds like a Muff, but it's gain character is somewhere inbetween the Green Russian and Op-amp, logically, since it's built around dual op-amps. The blend-knob definitely is a step up from the toggle switch on the original. It doesn't sound...

I ordered one, it's bound to be delivered today or tomorrow. Already have a Green Russian reissue to compare it to, as well as the regular BBM. This one might make it to the board, replacing the Joyo Double Thruster perhaps. We'll see.😊

Playing a sparkly PJ in pj's? 😅🤘🏻

Late to the party, got one last year, but couldn't find a good purpose for it. Until tonight, tried it out on my board, switching/trying different pedal combinations. I have it after a Darkglass Alpha Omicron-clone, and a Boss OC5. It's a nice fuzz, beit in Sun or Shadow mode. In combination...

Cheap & modified trusty backup bass. This one's a J&D Gothic bat, I believe. A copy of something that's inbetween a Yamaha Trbx174 and an Ibanez Gsr200. Full black, 24 frets, lightweight, but I fitted a couple of EMG Geezer PJ's in, and modified it for .175-90 gauge strings tuned to low F#.

Morocco red... All it needs is a green pentagram, then. 😅

P's with a Jazz neck, perfect. I have one, call it Franken-P. 😅
