    Yep, and I confirm that these mass produced instruments are total crap, just as the fact that the OP will never come back for thanking anyone. That said the OP is so clear that we don't even know if it's an Ibanez bass or an Iron...

    I'm so tired to have to justify myself for everything when it's so obvious...

    Looks like the term statistics was misunderstood : I'm talking about the science, not the results of it. In other words, mass produced instruments are not good instruments by definition as they are merely assembled without any special care, but from time to time, after a lot of assemblies, the right combination appears and, bingo, you have an extraordinary instrument that will be repeated again after a very high number of other assemblies, so statistics at work, just as simple as that.

    I would simply add that these instruments are a pure lotery, most of them being total crap, once in a while there's an extraordinary one that ticks all the boxes, but it's simply due to chance, nothing else. Check statistics and you'll understand instantly. 😉
  5. May I add that being mainly a fretless player, most of the basses I sell are fretless and they sell very easily and always fast as fretless basses are rarer, but I'm a bit late to the party. 😊😉
  6. And you are totally right.
  7. One most of the time, two for faster licks, three when I use my thumb and three to five when I play chords (I'm mainly a fretless sixer player and yes I do play chords on fretless).
  8. Congratulations @Andyjr1515, it does sound like a regular guitar, a bit drier, but it's definitely a guitar and a beautiful one too. Aranjuez would agree for sure, if we knew who he was...

  16. This one is in fact a Lasido GR Z I (there's a Z II version too with Evans PJ magnetic pickups). They were all made by Godin under two brands and were exactly the same basses intended for different markets : Godin and Lasido GR.
  17. I had something like 10 of these basses (including Z II and Prism), and on the original fretless (not defretted) models the fingerboard is ebony. These are amazing basses and the Zeta piezo system (as it's a whole system including the special preamp and special V shaped piezos) sounds really really really good. To avoid any further crackling, just push again all the wires (and there are a lot) in the automotive fast connectors and everything will work flawlessly.
  18. Don't forget to star ground all the cavities and shield that bridge pickup one with copper too. 😉
  19. I had an ALBridge on a bass, bought new from the USA, wasn't cheap at all but a massive upgrade. https://www.albridgeparts.com/
  20. Did you first check if the body isn't warped? That bridge looks to be made out of bloody zamac to me, the worst alloy ever.
  21. Also check the Hevos Midget 10, Hevos Super 12 and Hevos Super 12/Tweeter (excellent slot tweeter) as they weight from 10.8 to 12.5 kilos and sound massive and precise. You'll only find them on the second hand market (Public Peace still have very few new pieces of some) as Hevos stopped its activities a few years ago and they retail for the money you want to let go. That said the best option would certainly be a GR Bass AeroTech Full Carbon cabinet but, new, it's three times your budget...
