vmaxblues Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) I have had this a while and it is a very capable active 5 string. When I bought it it had a bit of damage on the back of the guitar, doesn't affect playability in any way, purely cosmetic and as it is at the back no-one sees it! I put a little black paint on it and it has never caused me an issue. The bass plays well, sounds good and is a great back up bass for a gig, or main gig bass for those gigs you don't want to take your £3k pride and joy too.

vmaxblues Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 Thank you oldslapper! Very kind sir. It is a great bass, I have moved to shortscale otherwise would keep it. Would have happily gigged it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borntohang Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I think they were trying to persuade people up towards the higher end models so these came with a lot of features that you'd expect on a much more expensive bass - nice tidy bolt-on joint and asymmetric neck profile. I really like my 4 banger version but I don't get as much chance to use active these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moley6knipe Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 They are great. The neck alone is worth the money, it’s so playable. I haven’t got one strung with flats yet… hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If postage had been offered I would have saved your resolve days ago 😂 It's even worth taking the shipping and Brexit tax hit at that price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
