Mornats Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 [quote name='Bassbadger' timestamp='1420470264' post='2649658'] Hi Mornats, Although the pickups on the Zygote have their coils wired in series as standard, they are 4-wire output so you can add series/parallel switching to either or both pickups for a huge range of tones. This is a mod I do to all my personal basses...of which there are way too many! [/quote] Oooh now that sounds like a whole lot of fun! Out of curiosity, do you make any basses to order? Perhaps with that mod and a custom see-through colour? No worries if not, I'm just considering my "next bass" options (I'm a basschatter after all...) Quote

[/quote]Custom colours are expensive for one-offs but I can certainly add series/parallel switching either by push/pull pot or mini toggle switch. Personally, I prefer the toggle switch. Either would be an additional £25 per pickup or I can supply a wiring diagram and you can do it yourself for free! Quote
tom1946 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Just ordered the last one of these, looks amazing. http://www.probass.co.uk/Vantage_V4BSKY.html Can't wait.... Quote
tom1946 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Arrived yesterday, Dave was excellent with his comms and kept me informed all the way. The bass is stunning in the flesh and after a quick setup to my liking it plays really well, lots of tones and heavy bottom end. I had to rack the amp volume back 3 notches to achieve the same volume that my P bass does. the controls work very well and can make a huge tonal difference unlike some I've owned. Overall I'm very happy with it to the point where I'll order another when he answers my email. Quote
kodiakblair Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Hey Tom That's fantastic you got the last Blue Vantage. It's some bit of kit. Congratulations on a fine choice Quote
lee4 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 Just checked the bank balance............ Ho hum.......... Quote
fusdepilee Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Is there a new Retrovibe range on the way as every model is sold on the website? Quote
kodiakblair Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Black Vantage is still for sale as are the Evo and Zygote. Quote
lee4 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 Just been told that I am getting a bonus,so an EVO will soon be mine! Quote
kodiakblair Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Congratulations on that wee bonus Lee. Quote
lee4 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 Tried an ATK200 today........so close to changing my mind,but being a whopping 11lb in weight I'll have to give it a miss. Quote
lee4 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 I have to say Dave has been very prompt in answering my questions about the EVO. I will be ordering an EVO on thw 23rd,and I will post a review once I have had a good play on it. Quote
kodiakblair Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Well done that Man. Dave's a great guy to deal with so I'm not surprised your questions got answered. By next Friday you'll be Evo'd. What a way to start the weekend. Quote
tom1946 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 The bass I bought is excellent, can't fault it I bought a stinger pre to put in my SUB 4 and I'm having problems with a few of the soldered wire connections on it dropping off, given up for the moment as I can't get it to work. Quote
lee4 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 The clock is ticking,Paypal is cued up.......and I just ordered a black EVO. Quote
kodiakblair Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Result Lee. Just to whet your appetite here's a fella on a Zygote. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF-IkdcvFVQ Quote

Shame there's a bit of distortion on the lower frequencies but I love how he goes through the different playing styles in all the pickup combos. It's not doing my GAS any good, especially as I saw a bass playing a Rockinbetter last night that sounded awesome and got me thinking of the Vantage... Quote
