tauzero Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Some time ago, Palatino came up with the VE-500, which, like the Stagg, is an endpin-equipped slimline EUB with a sticky-out bit to hang your washing on. I bought one some time back to replace my BSX father-of-Flip bass, but replaced it in turn with an NS WAV-4, mainly for convenience sake - Palatinos don't balance unaided on their end-pins and when doing a ceilidh, there's fair-sized gaps between playing while Mrs Zero directs her victims on how they are to do the next dance. It was also pretty heavy, considerably more than the NS. Harley-Benton are now doing the Palatino, and they're on Thomann for a few quid less than the Stagg. For that price, they're well worth considering. Looks like they've rocketed ahead of the Stagg in terms of sales from Thomann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) Yeah, I saw those last week while I was drooling over a Yamaha SLB200. How did you rate the Palatino sound? There's a lot of Palatino users over on Talkbass but they seem to have to modify the arse off them before they become useable.

tauzero Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 The sound seemed OK to me but definitely could have been better. Can't remember now how it seemed deficient. But I don't think the WAV-4 sounded any better until I put the Helicores on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
