Cheers Smallface. I did worry that the more expensive one would be a big step up. Ah well, looks like I don't get to be a proper skinflint on this.

There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Talmans are crazy good bang for your buck. This one was like 450 new. Bit too hot but there's plenty of routing to add J bass pots to make it passive

anyone found a good SUB 4 StringRay worth playing?

I played a load of them, some had no output, a few were pretty dead

THEN I FOUND THE ONE

How's that 5 SR655? I've been seriously contemplating adding one of those as a 5 string option.

My work colleague just got a Talman (agreed, outstanding vfm) and changed it to passive using another concentric pot as separate volumes for each pickup and putting a master tone on the control plate. Sounds MILES better passive. Was way too much in active mode.

I know! I made a bass with a Lakland Chi-Sonic last year and I’m on a run

Don't some amps have active or passive inputs ? Could be wrong here
