It really brings out the sound of my P-Bass and Jazz Bass Frettless... Gives them more presence, and an overall stronger tone!

Good job

Good report. Thx Jason!

Hi, has anyone tried the P.A.P.A. with the KSD bass ? If so, how did it sound?

I haven't, but given the KSD bass has only the bass and treble to shape your tone, running it through the PAPA could only enhance your sound, because you would have the mid control included with the PAPA. The mid's are where you better shape your tone and stand out more in the mix.

I tested the P.A.P.A. right here in the office. I even took pics of it on the PAPA page. I think it does just what it's supposed to. Enhance the Bass. The other feature not mentioned as often is the Practice Amp use. That's part of the reason it was designed in the first place.

Tonight for the first time ever, I used my own PAPA on a gig. It was an outdoor park venue in Philly with a 5-pc combo. The leader emailed me yesterday and said to save schlepping I could leave my amp home and just go through the sound system. I brought the PAPA so I could EQ it to my liking and boost or cut volume or EQ if need be between tunes. I worked out great. I tested it in the office with the bass I was bringing but was surprised how great it sounded live, outdoors and without an amp near me.

By the way, I left the DIP settings on the normal default which is how they are set in the Smith basses. It works just fine with a 3/4 Czech bass thru a portable sound system. They all said the bass sounded good and there was plenty of it as well.

My fingers don't hurt hardly at all after 2 sets in a park without an amp..
