dbass Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone else has one of these beasts? I know they are a fair wack of money for a piece of foam, wood and carpet BUT it's probably been the biggest tone improver for me on crap stages (i.e most of them). They really tighten up the bottom end and take away the boominess without having to loose your sound due to massive EQ alterations. I'm not affiliated with the company either, I just think more people should know about them and possibly try one if they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is interested the answer is Precision, because the Jazz bass was mainly intended for the ladies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 The only drawback with a GRAMMA is when the drummer turns up late and wants you to move over. GRAMMA's don't slide on many surfaces, especially carpet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzaboy Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 That`s shocking putting a bass cab on top of your Grandma. Put her in a bloomin home like everyone else does. Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildmanofrock Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I've got one... although, sometimes I prefer the swathes of low end that come from my cab connecting with the stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
