I still have mine, but it's had the snot beaten out of it, as the previous owner told me it had over a million air miles on it. Still have my XL2 I bought new.

This sounds bad to you? FWIW, I have ab A6 and several other Mk1 equipped basses.

So swap them out for what you want if the rest of the bass does it for you. Personally, I have lusted after the 1006 since I first saw/heard one.

Agreed. I have a 370 and a 375 and they're awesome. like @horrorshowbass I'm also a fan of the Powerspans and was almost convinced to change them out at one point, but these days I see no need at all. I'd like a white 305 but they weren't available in the Colonies. I keep threatening to take the brown 256B back to bare wood and refinish it white, but that's a lot of work and I'm a lazy sod, especially as the brown isn't wearing.

What's MAD?

Double post, sorry.

That bass, headless would be a piece of kit I think I could love. Can't afford it though.

Ugly PG, a really stupid design choice on such a modern style bass.

But for best results, ensure it has a low impedance ground.

That's like being offered to go out to any great restaurant in your city and opting for Subway.

Having done a substantial amount of DBT/ABX testing of audio gear, I'm not surprised at all. And speakers being transducers, are far less linear than the majority of amplifiers.

WRT instrument tonalities, there's a considerable amount of knob pulling.

Sweet. I've always wanted to try an M2500. Love the colour too.

It's called preventative maintenance and being prepared. Or in 2 words; being professional.

This, and the low output impedance of the pre vs a passive. Below is a list of all the times that a battery has failed at any inconvenient time since I got my first active bass in 83. .
