Yeah, these basses sound great...one of my first gigs with mine I had a bass-playing friend parked in front of my rig declaring you have the best bass tone ever! Alembic Distillate, Acoustic 370, 4x10 & 1x15 cabs and a sansamp bass DI for overdrive; killer combo and I wouldn't change a thing...I've had to play through other amps and it's not the same, but another bass would be unthinkable...
