Now that I have a few gigs under my bat belt with the Bat Bass, I am convinced it is the best Series I have owned. After the concert last night, the sound guy came over to me and thanked me for having a rig and bass that requires only plugging in to his direct box. No need for him to fiddle to get the EQ right. I knew part of that was the bass, but I also was running through my F1X which also has a lot to do with it. I knew the bass was great when multiple audience members came up to me on the break, and commented on how amazing the bass sounded. While i was playing, I could hear the "slap back" of the highs from the bass bouncing back to me on stage from the back of the outdoor venue. It was indeed the perfect tone. What really puzzles me is how full this bass sounds with an incredible commanding low end. You would never guess it was a short scale. The other thing I was very pleased with was the stability of the neck. Outdoors in the humidity as evening rolled in, usually affects a neck so that it will tend to back bow. This bass did not move at all, and played perfectly all evening long. I knew Series basses were the shizzle for loud playing and massive concerts, but this one is just better than any I have played previously. It must have been kismet that I found it or that it found me.
