That is a sweet looker! Doesn't look fake to me. I was the one who mentioned the Chinese fakes a while back. What's up?

 

[iriegnome]

I didn't think it was the fake. I just noticed the fake ones looked exactly like the one on the bay. Like they used that one for the design. Someone did the BIN and she gone!!

Oh right. Yea they did try to model them after some green quilt quantum. That thing was going for a great price! I would done the same thing.

Thanks in advance.

Any of you guys run flats on yours?

 

[iriegnome]

I use flats on my Genesis 5 FL.. Not on any of my fretted one's though. I have a 2000 Fender Precision Special that has flats on it for that more traditional old vibe. My Mod's I want modern

Thanks guys. I just joined the family yesterday! I've been playing a P with flats so that is just what I'm am used to. I was thinking this morning keeping a modern bass for a modern sound.

I got the Copperish Red Q5 on eBay that was was referenced a few pages ago. What an amazing playing instrument. Terrific action. Things just pop out!

Nice catch. "We" approve of the brand and the color.

@pnutz Nice!

My first thought was that the 35inch scale would take some getting used to. I find that it actually lays better under my hands. I guess 1 inch spread over the length of the fingerboard doesn't make a huge difference for each fret, but it seems to fall in the right places for my fingers.

This is my first active bass. The first night I just set everything flat to get used to the bass. Last night I got it a little more dialed in. A really nice variety of sounds can be got from the EMGs.
