It looks a bit like someone decided that they were going to have a bass guitar with EVERYTHING on it. Edited February 26, 2014 by Annoying Twit Quote

HowieBass Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) 2 PUs and that's a ramp in between them. Edited February 26, 2014 by HowieBass Quote

Annoying Twit Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 [quote name='Shockwave' timestamp='1393496450' post='2380914'] Lacking midi. [/quote] And LED lights on the fretboard too. But that gives whoever buys it at least some options in terms of adding even more stuff to it. Quote
Annoying Twit Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Marmite bass? I quite like it. I was just amused by how much stuff it has on it. Quote
alembic1989 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Marmite bass?..looks like it from most of the reactions....but a bass at this price.....with such a high spec..and what looks like good / very good build quality....what's not to like? Quote
Happy Jack Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Everything? No ... There's no DI out, no built-in tuner, there must have been room for an AX7 somewhere if only they'd looked, and it has no flick switches at all ... got to have those flick switches. Failing which, there's always room for some more knobs: [URL=http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/media/Just%20Stuff/Music%20and%20Musicians/WallOfSoundGuildAlembic.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m496/h4ppyjack/Just%20Stuff/Music%20and%20Musicians/WallOfSoundGuildAlembic.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Quote

ambient Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 What's wrong with it ? Ever actually tried one ? I have and they're great, I'm possibly gonna be buying one later in the year. These are extremely good quality basses, at a superb price. Check out the site [url="http://www.rmiuk.biz/News.php"]http://www.rmiuk.biz/News.php[/url] My fretless 6 has (or would have) 26 frets. Two pickups I though most basses had 2 pickups, except for P's ? A ramp, my Mayones has one. It's just an extremely good instrument for the [b][i]right[/i][/b] person, the OP, obviously isn't that person. Quote

There have been some other posts saying that this bass isn't as high specified with stuff as I suggested in the first post, so I'd quite like to hear about other makes/models of bass that have even more stuff on them, e.g. the bass posted by HappyJack. BTW: @ambient, originally I mistook the ramp for a third pickup, but I was corrected early on. Edited March 1, 2014 by Annoying Twit Quote
cytania Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 What's with the Deadhead bass? More knobs than can possibly of use and then a bridge anchor that is made from dribbled solder... Quote
tauzero Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Not entirely taken by the body shape and the edges. Whoever specced it did forget the piezo bridge saddles, which would, of course, have given scope for the MIDI someone mentioned via a Hexpander, and, even worse, it's got a head! Oh, and there are 11 less neck bolts than on a Ritter. Quote
