So after playing at high volumes with the band...
I. FUCKING. LOVE. THAT. BASS
I'm not sure how much do Chromes mellow out but in general... the bass sits amazingly well in the mix, character-wise, and is actually much more versatile than I'd expect it to be. Has incredible weight to the tone even in higher positions (which I often play in) and is really inspiring, too - we mostly jammed for four hours pretty much straight and it was awesome. The neck is huge but wasn't as tiring to play as I though.
I can absolutely imagine playing a whole set with it. which i will most probably try doing ASAP
switched to the P/J at the end and it's such a different sound... much drier and snappier. Surprisingly - I expected the opposite - I prefer the hollowbody with pick and P/J with fingers. Since I play most of our music with a pick anyway, it's quite nice
On topic of feedback... pretty controllable I'd say. It can feedback like a motherfucker if I stack dirt, but when I go just one pedal, it's really controllable most of the times. Sounds super sweet with pedals in general
really looking forward to trying my new Harmonic Percolator with it
one beef - it needs a fretjob, for which I simply DON'T have the money now. Frets are tiny and there's a couple of frets that are pretty worn down and mute the tone in an unusable way.
