The preamp is "meh", and the pickups are perfectly useable but a little "polite", especially the neck pickup. I don't like the electronics much, 'though. It's a pretty cool bass, and mine is extremely light too which was nice. Just out of interest there seems to be two different control setups on these - one with 3 pots, a stacked pot and a switch while the other is two pots, a stacked pot and two switches. Still, we now know that if it doesn't sound right, it's us, not the bass.!īrilliant value for money, but ours was less than £250 new much less. He was complimentary about the bass, and gracious enough to sign the back afterwards, but that's worn off since. No-one noticed the drop in quality, which only goes to prove that it really is 'all in the fingers'. By coincidence, the same configuration (1 x MM, 1 x J p/ups.) as his Lakland. I offered our humble Cort when they arrived he strung it up with his own strings and used it for the show. He explained that the bassist (Rodney 'Skeet' Curtis.) had had his Lakland fail on him in Scandinavia, and had no spare. We got a call the day before from their manager, asking if we could provide an active five-string.
Maceo Parker was billed to play at the local festival in which I was involved (3 Elephants look it up.). The 'stock' p/ups are excellent, the pre-amp does the job well no complaints whatsoever.Īn anecdote.? OK, then. Despite this, it has turned out to be an excellent player (although slightly heavy for my old shoulders I'm more used to my Verithin.!). At the time (quite a few years ago, now.) it was the least expensive new active fiver I could find. We have one of these, it was our youngest's first bass.
