Epiphone EB-1 31" fretless solidbody Violin bass. Deep, dark and thumpy.
Epiphone EA-260 30" Hollow copy of Gibson EB-2. Ok vintage hollow tone.
Fender Mustang reissue- nice solid string thru body bass, kind of heavy poor balance.
Rob Allen Mouse. Beautiful bass, but I wanted a thumpier sound.
SX-p Solid but heavy
Epiphone Allen Woody Rumble Kat beautiful bass, but not thumpy
Hondo p light and hollow sounding
Jay Turser 134 Vintage looking hollow bass vintage tone
Landing L-1 nice solid bass but heavy and wide flat neck active EmG pup's
Daisy Rock Retro-H Semi hollow active EMG pup's. Heavy and poor balance, neck twisted.
Cort Action Bass jr. nice solid little bass but single soap bar Mighty Mite pup kind of muffled
SX- frettless j heavy a few dead spots
Aria IGB Very small modern body nice neck and burpy sound although a little muffled and thin.
Austin P light comfy and good looking but sound is hollow and muffled
Samick Corsair CR13,not great looking and heavy but so far well balanced, neck feels great, tone is solid and clear.
Voili !
