The midrange is really defined. So...cobalts are the way to go for you?

Yeah, so far Cobalts are the score for me, ... I have a gig this Saturday, so we'll see how does it works in live environment?
Nice round bottom, non-honky upper mids and some pretty crystalline treble givin it some presence - should be a winner on the gig - my prediction!
i just noticed the cable jack on my reflex was a bit loose this morning. no problem, i figured i'd just grab a crescent wrench to tighten the nut. until i noticed that it's a knurled nut. is this just tightened by hand/fingernail or is there a tool that is used? i may just open it up a bit and put a drop of threadlocker on it to keep it in place.
Yeah, right!
Perfect strings set for a live gig with Music Man basses (or any, I suppose?).
Setup was almost flat in active bridge H parallel, I added some low-mids and minimal highs & bass, hi-mids flat!

Cleaning and polishing day after a hard gig.
I was just curious, what's under the hood?

My bridge grounding wire snapped after unscrewing the 'control plate'.
Such a great bass!
Still playing passive series inside coils every week at every gig.
Unless soloing, then I just switch to bridge H for some bite with the effects that I run.
I wonder how the green sparkle PDN (which at first glance I am NOT in love with) will turn out on the mighty 'FLEX!

Been drooling over this one at local store this week. Unfinished, very small neck is crazy good
Eek, website now says these are sold out. The one in my local store just got a whole lot more interesting
I read some people said they wish the Reflex had the Sterling neck, which I took to mean small. This one I played at GC ivory with single H was super small so I wondered if maybe this was a one-off. I am guessing this is 1 5/8. Are other Reflex larger? Thanks in advance

No they don't, ...knobs are fixed with hex screws, which are actually the "pointers" somehow!
just did a 3 day weekend gig over mem holiday. all went well until i desmudged the bass on a break. when i went back to play, the bass was roaring half way through the next song cuz i had inadvertantly moved the bass boost knob up to full. some kind of pointer knob on a 2k bass would be a nice feature, imo. on a dark stage the black set screw on a black knob doesnt really show up tooo well. :>) and of course as you all know there is no replacement knob for this bass, at least that i can find.
Well, ..I'd go for a kind of DIY solution!
Try to make Your own pointer on original knob?
Unscrew it and mark the stripe on it!
The Reflex nut width is 1 5/8. The Sterling is 1 1/2.
Given the choice of nut widths betw/ the 2, I'd slightly favor 1 1/2, so a Reflex SLO Special would be perfect (for me). But as it is, my Reflex and P bass, both at 1 5/8, don't get neglected.
I believe that reflex and Bongo both have the same neck shape and profile, ...only difference is number of frets (22 reflex / 24 Bongo).
