Fender Steve Harris Precision Bass 2015 - "Good craftmanship , bad replica and high price for a so-called signature model"
A beautiful, well-crafted Mexican-made bass. Very high price for a remote "signature" model. Indeed, Steve Harris uses a Seymour Duncan Custom Shop SPB1 (500€ in 2002)… On this model, Fender offer…

Boss DI-1 Direct Box - "Good, but too loud"
It's a good DI, but the output is really loud compared to other DI's. It works fine to roll off on a normal mixer but some inexpensive preamps on my scarlett 18i8 for example can't handle it's loudne…
