Turn up the bass!!!(aka my new bass-rig + pics)

I wanted to post some pics yesterday but i somehow forgot about it, so here are now the first pictures of my newly acquired bass-gear(see attachment). It's nothing expensive but very workable. Put my Jackson DR-7 next to it on one of the pics to give you a size comparison.

1.Santander 6-String Bass: I wanted a Peavey Grind 6-String originally, but i found this one on ebay, new and with return option if i don't like it, so i figured that i'd try to get this one in the same price range as the grind and than compare the two(i played a grind in a shop so i had a possibility of comparison to start with). And actually, this bass cost me 50€ less, but still totally owns the grind when it comes to looks, feel&playability and features :)
Some small guys in korea did a great job on this one.

35,5" Scale
Maple/Rosewood Neckthrough
Walnut Body wings
Rosewood board
Single saddle wilkinson licensed bridge
Licensed wilkinson tuners
Active tone controls(bass/mid/treb)
volume pot and balance pot
switch for active/passive operation

it's pretty basic, but i like the looks, and it feels and sounds damn nice. Sustain is great and the basic sound is rather balanced with nice low-end growl to it. Neck is rather slim and plays fast without feeling too wide. The factory setup was great with low action and zero fretbuzz.

2. Behringer Bass V-amp: Very practical, nothing to go wild about, but it does what it's supposed to do very well. And the tone has balls and doesn't sound too digital. Still in the phase of fiddling around with it to find my settings, but i guess that takes time with any modeller.

Sweet! That's a great looking bass. I love the looks of multi-ply necks on neck-through basses. Enjoy!
