    Eden Ex112 to use as standalone?

    I'm responding to an ancient thread! I have gigged a TC electronic rh450 into a 4 ohm EX112 and happily filled a decent sized room in a 5 piece band

    NBD - Sire P6, the poor man's Sandberg Superlight?

    I've got a couple of Cort GB75s as well as a 5 string P6, I completely agree about the 3+2 headstock, but the P6 sounds glorious!!

    Need urgent help choosing new bass!

    Gigged the 605 with an "old school" sounding rig recently, used it passive for the whole night and it sat in the mix beautifully.... surprised how such a supposedly "clean" sounding bass has so much character in the neck pickup. Put some Status Hotwires stainless steel strings on it and it...

    Need urgent help choosing new bass!

    I've got the BB435 and TRBX605. Love them both....naturally the versatility of the 605 is greater using the eq and passive/active options, but the 435 sounds glorious. I've got through a lot of decent 5 string basses ( Fender, G&L, Warwick, custom builds, Ibanez, MTD, ESP etc)....always end up...

    getting solo sound & volume on a Precision

    I hate taking a solo!! However, when it's demanded I kick in either my TC Spark or my Spectracomp and dig in harder! My 2 "P" basses are 5 string Yamaha BBs, and, in reality, they are a great starting point....the additional flexibility of the PJ configuration and the fact that they actually...

    NBD Yamaha BB235

    Jumping in to this thread. I've just bought a 235 for curiosity after having 2 of the older ones. What a revelation! It sounds brilliant, although I had to fiddle with pickup heights. Balances really well, and the neck is perfect. Amongst my collection of 5 strings, this might usurp my custom...

    Honestly, I'm so pleased with mine. I was thinking about dropping some serious dough on a new Roscoe , but that's 100% on hold....just trying to find another GMR

    GMR BASS

    Absolutely! It's the only bass I'm gigging - the sound, playability and weight work for me. My others have become spares

    GMR BASS

    Follow up...3rd time gigging the bass tonight. It's an absolute keeper, plays and sounds great, and the light weight, body shape, neck profile and perfect balance mean this will be my number 1 gigging bass moving forward 😀

    GMR BASS

    I've spent a few hours playing it now, and it's settled down after the set up and new strings. I'm actually blown away! It plays great, the Elixirs seem to suit the bass very well (it had Rotosounds previously) and the sound from the Bartolinis is wonderful. I'm going to leave it as it is for...

    Shuker Bass

    I'm incredibly pleased with my Shuker. Construction and materials are first class, mine has EMG pickups and eq and sounds great. Plays like a dream too!
