Chris2112 Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 I decided to get the PJB Bighead out last night to see how this thing sounds through a DI. Absolutely mint, I'm pleased to say. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 I will definitely get round to that when I get a new laptop. I could do with a useful home recording medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alembic1989 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I love your bass. I'd love to sit down & try some bass lab basses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Basslab preamps have always been made by Andreas Richter, just like the StepAbout (I owned one and it's a very versatile dual preamp, and expensive). There's a collaboration between the two since the beginning. That said Richter preamps are simply, to date, the most transparent preamp you can find. You can find Richter products here (only official retailer for Europe) : https://www.bassparts.de/epages/61038859.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61038859/Categories/Richter-Elektroniken 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland started the G-707 (synth guitar) in 1983 and the G-77 (synth bass) in 1984, both with the Stabilisation Arm aka Bow. Jerry Auerswald only started building instruments a decade later. So definitely Roland, @itu. 😉 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 And I had the opportunity to play a BassLab fretless sixer in the early 2000's as Music Store in Köln was an official retailer. It's a bit strange at first, but then you understand the ideas behind the conception quite quickly. It sounded huge with some kind of inherent reverb, but was way out of my league money wise... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've hit the nail on the head there about that inherent reverb. I was playing it when it I read your post and it struck me then that you are quite right, there is a resonant 'air' in the tone that is quite unlike anything else I've played. The other bass in my collection closest in 'spirit' and materials to the Basslab is my Bogart Blackstone. That has none of the 'airy' quality of the L-Bow. Well, I suppose with it being hollow all the way through, it will vibrate in a different way to a solid slab of material. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
