wombatboter Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 It's a pity I haven't tried out one...looks great and intrigues me.
wombatboter Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 There are plans to start a Level 42 tribute band around here in Belgium and this would be a great instrument for that repertoire (Still playing with the thought :-))

grunz7 Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Great bass - what's the nut width, string spacing at bridge and weight? and what does the mini switch do? active / passive?

[/quote] Thanks, nut width is 39mm, string spacing is 19mm, but can be adjusted to 17.5mm easily, the weight is 4 kg / 8.8 lbs. The mini switch is indeed active/passive.
