Total Watts

  1. I have a ZPO5 and it balances as a normal jazz. The B on it is great, so you can imagine how good a 4 would be.
  2. There are currently two Atelier ZPOs available at Bass Japan Direct. https://reverb.com/uk/item/76277268-atelier-z-zpo4-2016-transparent-blue
  3. What are the pre amp controls? The original had just treble & bass.
  4. Having had a look at both posts, the wood grains look suspiciously identical to me.
  5. Actually the spec is a 518 bridge, so it’s clearly 18mm!
  6. I personally don’t like the grating of fingers over round stings on fretless and find D’Adario chrome flats to be the smoothest metal strings. However, Labella nylons are like glass.
  7. If you want to really add something different and new, have a think about an inexpensive EUB to play with for a while. If that takes your fancy, I’d recommend the Discover Double Bass starter course to help you get going as the hand technique at the start is important.
  8. Looks great. So a 35.4” scale and 18mm string spacing.
  9. I think this is the second such bass to appear here in about 6 months and getting on for half the price of the previous one. I wish I had bigger hands as I can’t do much more than 16mm on a 6er!
  10. I wanted to try out the ACG01 filter preamp that John East sells on an fretless and so decided to utilise a Harley Benton as a vehicle to house it. The bass is ridiculously good and comfortable for the money before I made any changes. However I ploughed on and replaced the preamp and the strings with D’Adarios chrome flats that I’ve found the best fretless string for my taste. The result is a pretty good WAL-a-like (to an extent) but a rather indulgent build.
  11. Sire U5 ( which is 4 string ) Atelier ZPO 4 (if you can find one) If your budget runs to an ACG you won’t be disappointed.
  12. Or me, especially if it was a shorter scale!!
  13. I own a 5er that’s fitted with Labella flats. It does the old thud thing very well. The neck feels wide at the dusty end.
