It sounds quite nice. It all seemed to work very quickly once I swapped out the dodgy pup. I really lucked out with the set up ... measured up easy and didn't require much effort to get intonation. I do not play base so its all very new to me. But I bought a small 25 Watt Fender Rumble practice amp and am having some fun with it. Not sure whether the tone pot could do with some kind of upgrade - tone is lovely and rich but I'm feeling that to my ear there is not that much movement in tone control.
Great looking bass, the tortoise shell and black is a great look, and the wood texture finish is really cool as well.Originally Posted by DJP
....And finished. Had minor issue with bridge pick up. Tonerider upgrade was dud - or at least it only produced very low volume. Popped in the originsl from kit and it sounds just fine.
Plays a treat. Nice and shiney. Got the effect I wanted and colour scheme as planned. Happy
