Robert Manning Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I picked this up today and man it’s sooo good and so cheap £699. Just couldn’t resist at that price. after setting up, cutting the nut and dialling in my preferred set up I gotta say it genuinely embarrasses my other basses in the rack which at at a minimum cast twice as much. How is this fair ha. sounds a like a modern jazz, slightly darker, with slightly more tamed mids than my STD jazz 04 but with the active EQ you can of course sculpt it however you want. regardless of all the top level level parts the fretwork is really quite astounding- it’s been nicely levelled so you drop the action down crazy low (okay probably too low right now I’m just excited) and the ends are filed into nice sausages and polished. I’ll do so recording for my Instagram and uploading it here if anyone is interested:) I think if I had to have a life or death bass off where I had to slap tastelessly and overplay in order to stay alive I’d be using this ha 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I reckon if I was looking for a new 5 string, I'd be going for one of those or the Elrick 5. Seen them on sale a few times and the used values are even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velvetkevorkian Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Looks great, and that's a good price too. I do like a modern jazz more than the vintage looking ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
