Chi-love Club

[Peer75RI]

It's a lovely bass Duncan, thanks for showing it here. I wish I could have kept it myself.

The Chi-Love is growing fast here in Holland, more to come in the following months. I know that a lot of Chi-projects will be launched here...

 

[OmeDunk]

Do you guys know if there are any pickup rings available for the J-Sonics?

 

[MarkusBass]

Upgraded my CS-Jazz with a J-Retro this week:

And recieved the ChiSonics Hollowbody which are meant for my Godin-project:

More Chi-Love!

 

[MarkusBass]

Man...great stuff! How do you like the J-Retro with ChiSonics?

 

[Peer75RI]

Thanks Markus! The owner picked it up yesterday and drove straigth to a rehearsel with his band. Had his best sound ever

The J-Retro is nicer than I expected, it's still in the Jazz, although I expected I would want to return to passive electronics fast. The beaufitul mids of the CS's bloom very wel. It's nice to have some other tastes, my Skyline Decade is on its way, so I'll have a passive CS bass soon in the house.

 

[MarkusBass]

Ah...great to hear! I've thought about trying an active pre in my Jazz. Yeah...my passive Decade has a voice of it's own...let me know what you think!

Thanks Greg!

#2 back in the Club!!!!!! Lovin me the ol Chi's!!!!

That's absolutely stunning! What is that color? It ain't Markus Orange, is it?

And for myself, a new Decade in tha house......móre Chi-Love

 

[MarkusBass]

Right on man! That color is Candy Apple Orange Juice. Markus Orange is transparent. How you diggin' the Decade?

 

[Peer75RI]

Tnx, Candy Apple Orange Juice, what a fantastic name for a color.

The Decade is just fantastic! It's the first bass I bought for the second time, I can't understand now why I sold the first one 8 months ago... :scowl:

The Decade came out of the case perfectly. Have adjusted the setup a bit and raised the neck-pup for more "oomph". I'm thinking of adding a push/pull for series/parallel. Had that in my CS-Jazz before the J-Retro, and it made a real monster of it.

I'm also gonna try this nice set of d'Addario Chromes I've lying around, but am afraid to lose some of that complex mids with them...but I'll find out.

 

[kuys]

I love the look of those pickups.

I don't believe I've ever heard them though. Anywhere I can listen to some samples?
