You are definitely right about a bass needing to have some mass to get that amazing sound. It makes a difference. Love this model.

Oh, I love the Votan basses! They are a modern classic already, imho this is _the_ signature bass for Delano Xtender pickups, everything about it matches so well with them! I didn't have the opportunity to play this model yet, but the Votan XS with slim Delano JSBC pickups. And for me, the body shape and overall feel is also really nice. It has some classic vibe, but it's slimmed down exactly where it's appropriate. Feels somehow similar to a Lakland 44/55 which I also dig. Nice demo! But it would have been nice if you would have included the switch/blend settings for the different sound examples, it's sometimes hard to guess.

From the top single on both then parallel neck and then series etc... :-)

@@BassBuddha Thank you! 🙏

Yeah, these pickups wouldn't pass a drug test if bass playing was a tested sport.
