That one makes me feel all warm and tingly!
 
That Surine is gorgeous. I've always been intrigued by them, the shapes are beautiful. Please tell me it has loads of bridge pickup honk! :D

It has loads of bridge pickup honk. :)
And it is gorgeous yes. But alas the finish has, I don't know what it's called, lots of tiny cracks around the bottom edge. :( But it doesn't matter. It still sounds and plays fantastic!
Also the piezo pickup sounds great too! But, for the gospel gig most if not all sound comes from the V-Bass which also sounds excellent.

Wow, that does sound amazing! I really have got to get a bass with a piezo pickup in it one day! :D
 
Basically a John Myung bass with a few upgrades? (Is that a Midi pickup I see?) :D

Yes, indeed. It is my understanding that bass is one of the Myung prototypes from the Yamaha custom shop.

It has an onboard Yamaha NE-1 preamp and B1-D MIDI pickup and controls. One vol for MIDI with program up/down switchs, standard vol and blend, NE-1 preamp and bass/MIDI+bass/MIDI only switch. I use it with an Axon MIDI convertor.
