Good work! Thanks very much. Is it possible the bass was tuned down a semi tone on the rekkid? Would make it lay better.

Plus 1 for Tonelib.

Wow. Wow.

True dat. Also, when I was a student, I LOVED The Yes Album. I thought everything about it was cool. As a design student, I thought the graphics were fab. Later on, when, um, recreational substances took hold, Topographic Oceans was a great way of relaxing. But now....

I even went to see Emerson Lake and Palmer live at Green's Playhouse. WHAT WAS I THINKING???

As a guitar player, bass player and inveterate fiddler, I like to mix and match. Many of the FX in the G3 are also present in the B3, and in an updated form, the B3n, I believe. The ones I like to mess with are not instrument dependent. In fact, the autowah in the G3 seems to me to sound better than the B3n equivalent, depending on which bass I use. Come to think of it, folk on here who like fuzz or distortion seem to like vintage guitar models, or a Rat or TS9. If it sounds good, it is good.. But of course I have to admit I listen with my eyes as well. Anybody remember Stanley Clarke playing through a Mesa Boogie combo? That just didn't look right to me!

Has an Oz Noy type vibe, to me. Good work.

I have a Zoom G3 which I have on my board after my B3n. I use it for modulated delays and reverbs, but it has para EQ just like its bass equivalent. Works great, doesn’t sound thin.

AKG K240 DF. Sfind them a bit quiet due to high impedance, but they are very good cans for listening to bass through DAW or preamp.

Ah, I now see the bit about reshaping the body. Good idea.

Love that, thanks.

Ah, me, communication via text is inherently limiting. We can't hear tone of voice and emphasis (prosody), and thus misunderstanding abounds. My apologies for not being clear, I was firing from the hip in a spirit of helpfulness, plus I totally dig those curved plates on the Sandbergs. Good luck to Honza with his excellent project, and respect to all those who chip in with their expertise.

Agreed, but on a quick glance, seemed to cause a bit of discussion. I just like the look of the Sandberg bodies with that nice curved plate, and thought it might be helpful to mention it.

A bit late to this, but here's a thought: what about those curved fender style plates that Sandberg use on their new Jazz style thing? Their bodies are a new shape and require a curved plate. Might solve your positioning problem without all that metal work. Secondly, the blocks look absolutely fine. When your bass is strung up and in the wild, i bet you don't notice.

Good work!
