--From my own experience, with Barts, which, I do love there pick-ups , & there
pre-
amps { I've always used there soap-bar bass pick-ups}. To me , they've always,
seemed to
need a pre-amp to really tame them , otherwise , [just my opinion] they've
always
seemed too dark , for my needs. Now recently, I played a 5 string Human Bass at
this
music store in the bay area , in Northern Ca. I was really impressed with this
bass. It had
Delaneo Pick-ups , & a Glockenlang pre-amp, I hope I'm spelling this right. What
a great
bass [ oh the tones , I could coax out of that bass} . The price was only
1350.00 the body
is swamp ash . It's a very well constructed instrument , & light. There made in
Germany , &
assembled in Orange County Ca. If anybody out there is looking at getting a new
bass in
their future. I'd check these basses out.
