Lightlyseared Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Well I've found the site a useful resource for a while so I might was well join! I've been playing bass since 89 with a few sojourns on guitar along the way. I've gone through a fair few basses and I now think I know what I like, generally older gear but anything that gets me a nice clank and growl and the possibility of a big dub sound is a nice bonus. I'm not really partisan to any brand, my keeper basses are a Ric 4003, an Ovation Magnum, a Fender US Jag, a G&L ASAT, a Gibson G3, a Yammy BB1024x and a surprisingly awesome Ibanez Blazer (yes I have a bit of a soft spot for 70s-80s MIJ stuff). Sometimes I use a few effects and I find passive basses tend to get on better with them. Amp wise I haven't really strayed far from Ampeg and older GKs. I've not yielded to the temptation of class D yet, modern cabs do interest me though. I listen to quite a lot of different music, my main thing is post punk, krautrock, the weirder ends of prog and hardcore, space rock, industrial, electronic etc.. Anyway hi all! Quote

synthaside Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 For the longest time I wanted a magnum ..... specifically the passive 3 in the grey-burst finishe .... but after playing one in wunjo's a few years ago the sound .... it was not what I'd imagined. Welcome , to the forums Quote

Welcome , to the forums [/quote] Cheers - the output on the passive models is pretty moderate, I boost mine with a Fairfield Barbershop. Quote
