Mudpup

Thomann, GAK and dv247 have all been good for me. Had a warranty issue with a product from Thomann which was resolved very swiftly and with zero fuss.

If its anything similar, my 424x has a lovely resonance to it. You can feel it acoustically. Its really hot in output and has a zing and mid punch that ive not heard in many other basses. Both pickups are really usable and it doesnt have that jazz 'dropout' effect when both pickups are on. Its lovely and growly with a passive pup organic sound. The only issue you may have is the neck. Coming from your Ibby, its gonna feel a lot chunkier. It was the only thing i had doubts about when i bought mine as i was used to slimmer necks. In reality, it took 30 mins to get used to it and now i love it. Feels like you can grab it and wring it when youre digging in Bass Direct and GAK had some good deals on recently i believe.

I have a 424x - its little brother - and its a fantastic bass. Frequently use it instead of my Spector for my covers band. Still keep thinking about picking up a 1024 as a posher option.

Clear winner in the pounds per note competition!

Maybe its just the same couple of basses being relisted too

Looks like it This mob are always selling off Overwaters " taken in px" Dont know what the story is though

Winger - Karma Blinding bass sound! And some of the songs are pretty good - not what Winger used to trot out really. First 6 tracks are the standouts.

Wunjos Bass Centre in Denmark St And then back to Victorias Secret

[quote name='lefrash' timestamp='1358267014' post='1935978'] Its quite bizarre actually, beacuse I'm finding it really easy to make adjustments on the fly. Any effect can be altered and saved within 3-4 button presses/knob turn. Saying that I dont really use it for any mental effects, and any changes i make at gigs are generally just mix balance changes or a slight change in EQ. You can probably tell, I'm still loving mine! [/quote] Ditto here Finding it really easy to use once you've spent some time with it. I set up 2 banks of amp models without any compression, speakers or effects to use as a reference and then tweak them from there.

Probably Jay Z here - and its for nothing to do with basses!

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1357551692' post='1924190'] It's a lovely looking bass... but I just can't get used to those pickups! Does it sound more like a J or a P? Does it combine the best of both or the worst of both? The bridge pickup in particular seems to be oddly positioned - it's [i]very [/i]close to the bridge. How does that sound compared to a J in that position? [/quote] I know what you mean about the looks but as soon as i fired it up it was job done! It sounds like a very resonant growly jazz with both pups on but if you back off the bridge it turns into a pbass and the bridge pickup on its own sounds like a thicker hotter jazz. I tried it out right next to a few other jazzes, precisions and a Lakland including actives and it was much stronger sounding. Its pretty in your face but has a lovely depth to it and seems incredibly versatile. You can make tiny changes to blend and tone and it really changes the character. Its a floorshaker with real definition and cut. Bloody love it!

Usually do about 60 mins first set and second is 1 hr 15 scheduled (but usually an extra 15 mins if people are rocking). Using a couple of 2x12 cabs and 500 watt heads playing everything from little pubs stuffed in a corner to big social clubs. I find the adrenaline overcomes the weight of the bass on most nights!

[quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1357473213' post='1922990'] I've not been to Denmark St for a few weeks, but last time the Bass Cellar had moved to the basement of Rockers, over the road - apparently there were fears at the time that the construction of the new Crossrail station at Tottenham Court Road would affect the north side of Denmark St, so there was a panic move.
