They have made a lot of improvements over the original. The RMI Bass witch looks great,however if I recall correctly the second channel does not have eq! [/quote]

I've had mine a couple of months and I love it, Im playing it much more than my other basses (it's got a lovely neck) I've been tempted to get a Nordstrand pickup but there's nothing really wrong with the stock. maybe a new wiring loom and i love the idea of getting a gold anodised pick guard made by the bass doc as mines the sunburst the only thing I did do was put on some La Bella low tension flats and has schaller straplocks.

[/quote] Channel B has a higher input impedance, than channel A ( A = 10 Mohm B = 1Mohm- i think this makes it a higher impedance). I bought my original MB2 (I'm on my second) as I'd read the NS WAV I'd bought at the time required 1MOHM and i wanted to switch. TBH not sure if optimised was the right word, but it did work very well with the WAV piezo. I had a radial bassbone which dones not have high impedance inputs and it does not drove a power amp very well ( I struggled with my Berg IP, with the bassbone).

The EBS microbass 2 is great, one of the inputs is optimised for piezo pickups so ideal for upright/EUB. One channel is a drive channel, however with the drive right down its still fairly clean/warm. It also has an effects loop and headphone amp, not as easy to blend the signals as the radial

Bought a polytune mini off Dan. great comms and it arrived exactly when he said it would. dead chuffed with the tuner, thanks Dan, a top bass chatter highly recommended ,

Just sold David some old jazz bass hardware,fantastic transaction and he paid immediately. an absolute pleasure mate

Just bought a small stone from Lloyd, absolute gent of a man. delivered very quickly and brilliant communication, highly recommended. Thanks Lloyd

I've used DR high beams for a very long time and i love them, nice deep bottom and crystal highs but still sound fantastic for a long time after they are broken in.They feel smooth unlike rotund, I keep trying cheaper strings and always go back

I've just boaught a surprisingly good 5 string P from Steve. Had a great afternoon chatting about basses with some light refreshment Very cool guy and a pleasure to mee thanks Steve well have to do it again sometime.

Just bought a really fantastic boss Bf2b Flanger from Rick.Fantastic comms and he even sent the pedal before I paid for it,very recommended and if the other pedals are ad good as this, they need to be sold Thanks loads Rick
