Reggaebass Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Well this arrived yesterday, I’ve been looking for one for a while and a practically new condition one came up, not really been played, only tested and it still had the plastic on the pickups and tuning pegs , I have to say that the compound neck profile is amazing (not that I venture much up the dusty end 😁), it really feels great. It’s taking me a while to find the sound I like with the controls, any advice greatly welcomed , It’s quite a joy to play 🙂 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Enjoy it mate - got my own active J/J arriving tomorrow, something I’ve been after for years so, fingers crossed, it lives up to expectation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one 👍, have you had active before, how did you get on with them, it’s taking me longer than I thought to find the sweet spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 If the preamp is like the one on my ultra, then I find it is naturally heavy towards the top giving a brighter sound than in passive mode, I just dial up the lows and mids a bit at home, but keep the brighter sound live as it’s cuts through better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bay Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Just now, Reggaebass said: Thanks T Bay , that’s exactly what I’m finding It’s most likely the same preamp as the ultra is pretty much the same as the Elite. It really does work incredibly well live though and I have had a lot of positive feedback on it. At home I like a bit more low down so just dial it in. I love the colour of yours, this is my one- 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebenezer Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I have an elite 4 in Ocean Turquoise... lovely bass although at 4.4 kgs slightly heavier than I would have liked... having said that, it doesn't present much of a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
