the style I play is gospel.SWR workman 15,Peavey Combo 300.the bass is very quiet on any setting.the bass is rich/full,Deep/warm,and bright sounding!Better for stage and studio.Dislikes:the bass slips off your lap!

I'm been playing for Over 20yrs.Maybe a Traben 5-stringer!If this Bass were stolen or lost I would get another one quickly!Love:Bartonlini gear is great,the Exilir's Nanoweb strings have been an blessing giving the bass that Piano string sound.The Ibanez 506BM sounds better than Basses in this price arena(Dean,Peavey).Anyone that don't want to spend the big bucks,run and get this bass!Great for slappin',tappin',etc......
