Just ordered a Wingman Bass from Baum (Denmark). Last one in stock with $400 discount. 7.5 lbs weight and a 45 day free return window.
Iāve had my eye on this for a while. I would usually run a mile from gold hardware but thereās something about this one

As do I.
I shipped 3 basses and a guitar to France 4 years ago when I moved here. I got hooked on the food, bread, pastries, cheeses and low tone candy. Now I have 3 guitars and 20 or so basses. Oh, and a bunch of extra kilos.

Bummer. Will you replace it?

Iām think so, but Iām going to wait and give them a chance to iron out some of their QC issues.
They were very good about it. So from a customer service perspective itās been a positive experience.
Iāve got this coming in January, so itās not too sad

I think two others bought them too, no? Any issues? Was @sunDOG one of them?
Wow. Thatāsā¦ not great
Not me, I lust after oneā¦
Iām surprised that there are QC problems, disappointing.
My two, a black 4 and a white 5, were flawless. Iāll count myself fortunate.

Happy Christmas to me 
Treated myself to this as a replacement for my Epiphone EB-3 (couldnāt get on with the mahoosive neck-dive). The balance on this is so nice, and it plays nicely (at least for my uneducated fingers).
Looking forward to spending more quality time with it in the New Year. Itās my first active bass so I need to figure out how to use the pre-amp properly, and itās full-scale so Iāve got to work harder to navigate the fretboard with my baby hands

Last week we played an open mic. I wanted to use my Ampero as I had a couple of different tones - clean and dirty - for different songs. I also use it as a tuner. Butā¦the chap that plugged me in, plugged my active set up into the passive input on the bass amp, unbeknown to me. I sounded awful on the first song, boomy and full of feed back. The quick solution was just to plug the bass directly into the amp - right socket - and carry on.
This got me thinking that in an open mic situation, maybe I should simplify things and just go straight into an amp - no pedals. But, how to tune? I really donāt like the look of those tuners that you clip to the headstock and if Iām doing away with my Ampero, I donāt really want to be plugging in a tuner pedalā¦so here we have the Korg Pitchstrap. Once Iād worked out where to place it - it really needs to go as close to the strap button as possible - itās pretty cool. Pluck a sting and tune to the lights. It tracks well with the Ampero tuner, so Iām pretty happy. Plus itās black, on a black strap, so very unobtrusive, stealth even! 
Happy Christmas all!

Merry Chrismas! That Korg pitchstrap looks really cool. 
I am just a bit puzzled about your first part. You know you can just adjust levels to make your signal less hot? For example turn down the volume on your active bass and crank the amp a bit more. Or change a level/gain setting on your Ampero. Or am I missing something?
This is also why I highly prefer a level/gain knob on amps. On tube amps I find it more nostalgic to have two inputs
