Essence 5 from Station Music
« on: May 20, 2024, 06:00:34 AM »
This was on consignment at Station Music in Germany. I may be going overboard on basses as I got my Epic only a month ago. The only sign of aging is the slight flaking of the gold plating on the tuners and oxidation of the brass parts. Great bass to play, interesting tone options with the filter control.

Congratulations & Compliments, Jyrki. Nice-looking maple essence there. The filter is a wild world to explore.

Yeah, I just turned the blend to the center detent, there is a sweet spot at this setting for the filter. Probably very interactive controls.
