Members ModmanQ6 Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 My Modulus Quantum 6.

Sounds great, plays great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bd's_bass Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 Roscoe SKB 3006 Burl Maple top, maple board, Bart electronics. Currently sporting DR XL Nickles. Smokin'! It sounds kind of like a p-bass on steroids, but balanced across all strings. I've played jazz, rock, funk and used it in a pit orchestra, too. Great bass.

Members james on bass Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 Douglas 6er from Rondo. Excellent bass for the price I paid!! Dual truss rods. Awesome feelng neck. Very beefy string through body bridge. Pickups are pretty weak though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members allan grossman Posted January 24, 2009 Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 Info at the bottom... My SR406. This is the second one I've owned - and if you want a six-string bass I think used ones are an exceptional value. The pickups are as good as most but the preamp leaves a lot to be desired. This one has KA soapbars and the preamp has been removed - replaced by a pair of 5-way coil select switches and a no-load tone control I made myself with a drop of clear fingernail polish. At RR's suggestion I installed a Graphtech nut and have been happy I did. Folks who know the bass know the SR406 is reasonably stiff for a 34" bass, string spacing is tight and the neck's fairly fast. Here's a pic of the control cavity - SR owners will note the control layout is pretty far from standard. I left all the wires long so I could replace any component without disturbing any of the others - and the no-load tone control is sitting under that big Orange Drop cap.

Members bassman1956 Posted January 24, 2009 Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 Okay, I'm not a six-string player. At all. But, I did have a few rounds with this one. Yummm! Seductive! Almost got it at one point. Nice! Okay ~ too many knobs. I agree. This one is also MIDI-equipped. The basic bass is the single split-rail mag pickup plus RMC bridge saddle piezos, with an Aggie OB3 pre-amp. 5 knobs, like nearly any active bass.

Members Fishyfan Posted January 24, 2009 Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 Bongo 6 in Black. Great bass, everyone calls it the surfboard. has a sound that most active basses would die for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members James Hart Posted January 24, 2009 Members Share Posted January 24, 2009 I forgot to "talk 'bout them" It's a 2004 Benavente 51 series fretless. It's an Ash slab body with a maple neck and an acrylicized birdseye maple board. It's loaded with custom wound dual coil and 3 band pre made by John Suhr. It was built to my specs and has met or exceeded my expectations in every way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking and liking the SR706 and BTB models... gotta try them ! Thanks There are plenty of reasonably-priced great basses out there. A lot of them are in the used market but I *think* I paid $325 for the SR406 with a hardshell case and it looks new. I tried older BTBs and didn't care much for them - they sound and play great but just didn't fit me. They might fit you just fine ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NeonVomit Posted January 25, 2009 Members Share Posted January 25, 2009 My Warwick Thumb bolt on. Loaded with Seymour Duncan Basslines, 1999 model. Got it about 18 months ago, used. Paid a decent price for it. I love the sound, and while the neck took getting used to compared to my previous Ibanez BTB 6, I'm really liking it. It's a very well made instrument, and while the picture doesn't do it justice, the wood grain looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
