So yesterday I purchased this beauty:

Pro Series Starbass.

Here is the sound, completely unprocessed through an Apogee Jam in garageband.

Beautiful! :)

Any chance you could save that audio as mp3, my computer doesn't know what an ipb file is and I'd love to hear what that thing sounds like.

Once the file has downloaded just change the extension to MP3 and it works.

Edit: downloaded fine on Safari - just had to rename the extension.

Firefox downloads it ok as ipb file, you can change the extension to mp3 then to listen to it. Beautiful bass, I like the sound too.

/edit
BigredX was quicker

I don't think you even need to change the extension - in Firefox click 'Open With' when prompted and select Windows Media Player, or somesuch; WMP then tuts about it not being a format it recognises, but will volunteer to have a crack at it anyway... and it plays fine :)

Sounds great; looks great :)

A good purchase, I would say.

I really like the look of these (apart from the nasty Warwick paddle headstock). However the only one I've been able to play felt (to me) horrible.

However I'm liking the sound clip that you posted (surprisingly twangy for a semi-acoustic fitted with humbuckers?) so maybe I should give one another go - if I can find one to try in the UK.

Yeah, the pickups are great. Twangy like single coils, but fat like humbuckers.

Very balanced, no dive. Have yet to try it with a strap.

Good.
Well, bad, actually, as it means I might have to add yet another bass to my wish-list! :rolleyes:
