Title: Some videos of my band with the new custom.

It's not real bassy unless you listen through headphones, but you get the idea...  The link will bring you to the FB page.  Scroll down for the vids.

Nice to see that new Amboyna Series bass making the rounds!

Fairly convincing DLR Tribute too. ;)

The Amboyna looks good onstage. Do you take it with you on breaks?(lol)

I notice you are using both the jack and 5pin on one of your basses, care to share the reason?

I know it's redundant.  The use of both inputs is for "safety" reasons.  I have both cables and my in-ear monitoring cable attached to one another.  If I don't connect the 1/4" cable, it's all over the place with the amount of jumping and careening we all do.  I don't want it banging into the bass.  When I switch to my Warwick or Hamer, I don't care if the 5 pin moves around and bangs into them, although perhaps I should.  A cable is a much lesser expense than a dinged up body that needs to be refinished.  Also, I don't have a rackmount power supply, unfortunately, and sometimes we have VERY quick turnaround times when we are an opening act.  It's one less cable I have to fool with.  I may re-think all this, given that the chance of me having to replace a 1/4" input jack only increases with use (and time.)  I guess right now I'm just being lazy.

And no, I don't take it with me on breaks, but I don't leave the room!
