Very true, but some of the settings are twisty knobs, and while you're learning the twelve gazillion possible settings it's much easier not to have to bend over all the time, especially at our age. :dead:

Look after yer back.....young'n :DL

But in the end the active pickups won out. That, and availability. I would have had to wait a week for the Peavey. The Ibanez was hanging on the wall.

Those Peavey's are nice. I had a go on one in my local muso shop.

I know what you mean about the active electronics, there's a world of tone control at your fingertips.
With that in mind, I was soooo close to buying one of THESE a few years ago. Yamaha TRB1006J 6 string bass...

Excuse me whilst I wipe the drool off my chin and my keyboard. :oops:

Then again, if money was no object, I'd have probably acquired a Warwick Bass.

Holding out for a Rickenbacker :)

Well, I say that now, I'll probably get something else instead for reasons of $$

Behringer 1x15 combo amp, 300 watts. I'm looking at upgrading to another Behringer, the 550-watt head with a couple of external speaker cabinets. That's in the future though.

Used to play guitar through a Behringer V-AMPIRE, sadly not mine. Good brand.
