Comments: If I was to make a choice again, I'd definitely buy these guys again. They aren't in any way clinical, even though that's what I initially anticipated.
I've been playing for 18 years and currently have a bass arsenal of the following : Sei Bass 6 string Flamboyant, Sei Bass 5 String Fretless, FenderUS Standard 5 string Jazz with Sims LED's and a David Hickey 2TB active circuit, A pink Fender Precision, a mid 50's slab bodied Precision, A Jaydee GA24 fretless bass, Hofner "Beatle" bass, Chapman Stick (10 string), 1972 Fender Telecaster with B-Bender, Gibson Les Paul Studio Gem and a Rickenbacker 360-12 electric.
I love the way that I can have clarity when I need it, but drive the pickup and it gets nice and "growly"
