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.

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.
