  1. That looks pretty damn good @ezbass
  2. It would seem that the two systems are similar, yes. Still haven’t taken the plunge with buying an HRI system for my Xotic but when I do I’m sure I’ll post a thread here with the results.
  3. If I had the cash it would likely already be in my arms! ...Says the 5 string player with a track record of selling all 4 string basses
  4. Truth. Dingwall soap bar pickups are also reverse P’s on the inside!
  5. You may be correct. Sandberg very deliberately reverse their P when in a bass with a J or MM pickup at the bridge, but they leave it in “traditional” configuration when on a single P pup bass. They’ve gone on record as saying the bridge pickup blends better with a reversed P than a traditionally oriented one.
  6. FWIW I bought an Xotic XJ1T 5er a couple of months ago and it has true single coils, but Xotic offer their HRI (Hum Reduction Inductor) which fits in a little prerouted slot under the pickguard - I’m very tempted to buy one and have it fitted. Word on the street is it doesn’t affect the single coil tone as much as Humbucking J pups do.
  7. I think different manufacturers/brands approach this differently, which is why I dispute when people make blanket statements like “a reverse P is better!” There is an obvious tonal difference between doing one and the other but it doesn’t seem to be standardised.
  8. Very very good basses. The necks for me are just about perfect on these, and the tone is legit! GLWTS
  9. They tested the switch knobs to death. Apparently they’re very, very durable. I think Neural talked about this in one of their early videos
  10. What’s your set up? Are you listening through headphones? An amp? Monitors?
  11. This. Also, with a few of the newer pedals that have been added in recent firmware updates, you may not even miss the lack of true amp/cab sims. I suspect you’ll enjoy your purchase @SumOne Just remember to update it once you get it and read the instructions before you do!
  12. This is a classic and variations on this theme unfortunately occur with painful frequency. Saying that, my experiences with BassDirect have been positive. Their website is in dire need of an overhaul though. The Bass Gallery revamped their site a while back and it’s made such a difference as their old site was arguably even worse than BD’s!
  13. Fantastic basses. These are around £2500 at BassDirect (I know because I recently bought one!) Lovely neck, great pickups and a preamp that’s impossible to get a bad sound out of. This is a lot of bass for £1400.
  14. Another victim of my downsizing sale! In excellent condition - it looks factory fresh. Neuro app control cable and original (unused) rubber feet included. UK postage included in the price.
  15. Oh dear. This is exactly what my bank account didn't want to see...
