RhysP Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 [quote name='Deamon' timestamp='1389564297' post='2335643'] §wiss made? [/quote] Very few were actually Swiss made - the majority of the top end models were made in Japan. Superb quality instruments - when I bought my Levinson B4 from the Bass Centre in Wapping in 1988 I tried a load of basses around that price (including A Wal & a Stingray) but the Levinson beat them all.

bass-a-licious Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Well there is your european Sadowsky equivalent. Btw, what does that switch do? Never seen a switch on Blade. Edited January 13, 2014 by bass-a-licious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I had a B4, brilliant bass. It had an adjustable eq (via the rear cavity using mini screwdriver). The switch at the front switched between the preset factory setting and the "self adjusted" setting. I'd assume the switch on the B2 does the same.
