ben604 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 What a great setup! Excuse my ignorance, but what's the Black bass in the pic above the pedal board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 That Blue 535 is one of my favourite basses. I didn't know you owned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 It looks to me like a tarted up Yamaha RBX. I could be hugely wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse my ignorance, but what's the Black bass in the pic above the pedal board?[/quote] The black and flamed are heavily modified Hagstroms. These models were introduced last year and everyone seemed to brush over them. The playability is excellent. I gutted the PU's and electronics on the black and put in a Bart pre and Basslines PU's. I'm currently in the works on the flamed (adding a third PU) The flamed one on the right (as you see it now) is how it comes stock.

Well, I'm not the only one with a 535 with those specs I will say, that particular combination of poplar and wenge gives one of the nastiest, most awesome slap sounds you've ever heard.

silverfoxnik Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Great set-up! Are those Bill Lawrence pick ups in the flame-top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those Bill Lawrence pick ups in the flame-top?[/quote] If you're referring to the flamed Hagstrom (next to the black one) then, no. Those are Hagstrom's proprietary PU's for those basses. They call them "H rails", they're passive and mediocre sounding. All of the other PU's (in my MTD's and Elrick) are Bartolini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
