Used my Hobbit/Triumph the other night at rehearsal - very pleasantly surprised (shouldn't have been of course - surprised that is) - very full sound. Played with both fingers and pick, usually neck pickup or both, though once I accidentally flipped to just the bridge pickup. Gonna have to practice though if I decide to use it - thought it would be a snap since I've been playing my P-Basses lately, but felt rusty on it. Not necessarily the bass's fault!
Been recording the band - separate mics on the guitar amp, kick drum and in front of the kit, bass direct (played through my
GK MB-112 II in the room - pretty much inaudible on the Zoom tracks), and a newly purchased Zoom H2n in the hall for reverb. Bass was going through Fulltone Bass Drive & CAJ tube compressor, then Radial Engineering direct box. During mixing I put the bass through my Alembic F-2B preamp. I'm liking the sound of this bass! Makes it harder to decide once we actually start gigging...
