Marvin Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1424372900' post='2695683'] Well yes and no. My TRBX is the first active bass ive owned that will run in true passive mode, without even needing a battery in it. Other active basses ive had haven't worked like this and if the battery died so did the bass. Maybe this wasn't the norm though. So while I understand the active/passive switch I'd still like confirmation that it does indeed work as above. Gettting very close to ordering the White/RW V7 though. [/quote] Yes, I assumed that all active passive basses could do the same, however they may not I suppose. From what I remember my previous active passive bass could go without the battery and I've got a Yamaha TRBX504 which as you know will work with no battery. I should find out soon re. the MM v7 Quote

Not a big deal breaker though, but would be nice to know as I tend to forget to unplug between sets sometimes. Looking forward to your views etc. Quote

dave_bass5 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 It does indeed. Nice playing as well. Do you gig with this bass? Quote

[/quote] Thank you and I really do like the bass. The overall qaulity of the bass is top notc and even though sound is subjective the bass is extremely versatile and at the most slightest turn of any of the knobs on the pre you will hear a difference in tone.

dave_bass5 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Sounds great. If I could decide on the colour I'd order one right now. Quote

dave_bass5 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Nice one. fingers crossed its a keeper. I have no issues at all ordering from Thomanns, their returns are very good. I purposely left my credit card at home today, but i can see me ordering one over the weekend. If the gig goes well on Sat then ill order one on Sunday. Black or white, it will be at the toss of a coin now (although if i get the white one the GF wont notice a new bass lol) Quote

She has never commented on any new bass (or camera etc) that has appeared. no matter what colour. I do like the White though. It reminds me of my old Fender MIA P5 but nicer. But the black reminds me of my Lakland DJ5, and the SB reminds me of the of........

dieseldalziel Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]Got mine today at 3.30pm.. It's a wonderful instrument. It feels great-very tactile. The build quality seems very high,very well finished. The action is reasonably low out of the box & with the pick up cover on would need to come down a touch. I've just had a little bit of time playing & the electronics will provide a huge range of tones with some really nice growly lows & sweet highs!

She genuinely doesn't notice what I'm playing. I did tell he about the last bass I got and she said the usual "you don't need another bass", "what are you going to do with the others?" etc etc. Quote
