All suggestions we make become useless after you visit a shop. Try all which please your eye and compare. Brand is of no importance here, but the feel. Try also those out of your preset price range although the fretless Overwater may raise your standards and pricing substantially...

When there's a need for modulation (usually a flanger) or fuzz. The freq selection at 400 Hz, and no blend. Lows are clear and powerful, and the higher band can push quite a lot of fx, if in need. Surprisingly powerful pedal.

May I ask, what do have in the loop of the Divaricator? Adjustments are very different to mine.

Several good points. A tiny addition: balancing can be done electronically, therefore an audio transformer is not a must. Opamps are cheaper than say, a Lars Lundahl transformer. https://www.lundahltransformers.com/

Is this beauty 34", 35", or 36"?

Somewhat different gig, because of the arrangings: there was one ambassador in place, and we needed IDs and everything felt pretty strict. But after the set up, sound check, and some jazz people went crazy! They sang practically all songs. We had to add more songs to the fourth set, as they just shouted for more. Sets: jazz standards, start me up, sing-a-long, and ring-and-shout! Because of the ambassador, we decided to break one rule: the last song was All you need is love. We have never, ever played Beatles live. Maybe the most complicated song for us was Peter Gabriel's Book of love. It is slow, very intimate, and was new for us. The owner of the place asked this, and we decided to make it happen. Equipment: - Vigier Passion II 4-string - IE Xero DL envelope, Phat Beam comp, Boss SY-1 synth - Glockenklang Soul - alusonic 2 x 12" - at the moment several totally dead fingers

Don't know about DRs. GHS long scale plus and some D'Addario sets have been long enough for my former MG Quantum 35" and a custom fretless 36".

400+ probably means the weight of it. But lovely sound! What is somewhat peculiar: why do you have to do weight lifting, and try to raise the amp on top of the stack? The amp works well on the floor, too. No vibrations to the amp from the cabs. (My friend had a Trace 1818X cab, which was not only heavy, but nearly impossible to carry. Those handles were at awkward height. He sold it quickly.)

By the way: where's @disssa? Making the ultimate preamp, or has he turned to power amps lately?

Whatever you choose, check also the weight. K&M isn't very heavy, and the price included a functional bag.

As you already answered yourself: this has been done quite many times on any J. If you want to have blend, use Bourns MN 250k (or 500k) pot. Add a switch pot to the system, and you can put the pickups in series without drilling any extra holes.

Stuart Hamm model Urge has short scale.

It has to be pricey to change string on a regular basis.

@JLG : loudness should be measured. It cannot be guessed from the data companies publish in their web pages. This is sad, but Marketing sections have decided watts are of interest, not loudness.

One thing that could discussed is the pickups. I like single coils, and humbuckers. P sounds like a fart to me, so I try to avoid it. Of course a bass with a single coil pickup has to sound different depending on the position, strings, and the neck, but a single coil sounds like one practically everywhere. Rick's pickup sound was OK, but I sold the instrument for other reasons. Mudbuckers have been too muddy, humbuckers with coil tap very good. Some piezos sound quite good but it hasn't been my cup of tea. Bigger orchestras do not need so wide response.

The headline states DI, but this unit has adjustments. For me a DI is a Countryman Type 85. Preamp is another thing.

It was. It is not acoustically nor electrically the best solution. But things and knowledge was also different in the 80's. And once again: wattage is not about loudness. dB is. If you have two identical amps, the other set to 150 W output, and the other to 300 W output, the difference in loudness is 3 dB. You can just hear this. If you want more, like 10 dB more, you need to multiply the power output by 10, to 1500 W. Hearing is logarithmic, not linear.

Remember to use a video call: it is easy and then you can ask questions about the instrument.

After you have sold those, you can move to a smaller flat, too.

Pedal tuner: - eats a lot of pedal board space - mutes the signal (a red Neutrik plug does it, too) - I can tune between songs or sets (but I have basses that stay in tune, and I go away from the stage between sets) That pedal tuner would be in its pedal board case when I need it at home while changing strings. At home I have a Peterson SAM, and my mono bass cases carry Ibanez MU40 tuner/metronome units.

That is done in a good, repeatable environment, and I am pretty sure, you can add nickel roundwounds to the test. That would widen this interesting comparison.

Sometimes I hate the songs or arrangements (and bills), but I love every Thursday when we start our weekly rehearsals. It's the door to unknown. The feel after every session with the group (or few side projects) is something I can not find or get anywhere else. Gigs are an extra: it's nice to share something we have created together.

To be precise, an added mass affects instrument's resonances. Therefore there should be difference in sound, but is it something we can hear, is another thing. Placebo and new strings is probably the best explanation to a "better" sound.
