Barefaced super 15 will answer all your problems.

They also IMO do it better than what fender can. I think anyone now days would find it hard to design a guitar or bass that's radically different and practical and be successful to a large degree. The only new basses that are different but practical are the big al and bongo. Reverendguitar basses are also very nice ana departure from the norm.

Obviously you aren't loud enough. Seriously though some people are oblivious. Our guitarist stands behind his amp and complains he can't hear it, so turns it right up. Obviously I shout at him in anger to stand infront of it. My band never really realised what I was doing on baSs until I couldn't make rehearsal once.

I'm positive a standard Barefaced Midget will be cheaper, including shipping, than buying a SP212. With a better frequency respomse, lower wieght and possibly higher Vd. A better cab for less makes sense.

Can't you tell from the sound? The ceramic tends to be more middy(muddy in my opinion) while the alnico has a better low and high frequency extension, and a more clearer not definition.

I too have been wondering if there is a good power out there that's under 3.5kg and about 400watts at 8ohms

Completed a trade with Mick. Top guy, dispite a few postal errors everything was smooth and comms were good. Love my new bass and hope my old ray enjoys getting played a bit.

If fender offered some of the signature series as standards with a more reasonable pricen that would be a start. There was one sig model (forget whose) with two humbucks and a vastly different pickguard that was close to a telebass. The truss rod wheel at the bottom of the neck. I still have to take the pickguard off to adjust my american standard. Orange maple!! Not this aenemic crap. Better non plastic finish aswell! Custom orders!!! Like you can with EBMM. I'd go straight in an order said sig bass, maple fingerrboard, cobalt blue, white pearliod guard, chrome knobs and white pick up covers. With mcgraham on ramps, definatly felt I needed one on so many basses.

Fender japan already make decent modern fenders. Aerodyne. A modern fender to me has: Matching headstock Finishes people want Decent pre-amp No pickguard. I feel the original jaguar would have best suited here if it was done with a little more finesse and quality

For whatever reason there is a rick for sale at 3K ina local place....

Brought a genz benz stm900 off tino. Was for intntion and purpose bran new. Despite being in spain it ships reasonably quick. Very happy I am. Tino is a very trusting and trustworthy guy.

Indeed. Mr. Davey just emailed me. Will keep the thread updated for those interested.
