Jari Mäenpää uses Optogate PB-05 Jari Mäenpää uses Optogate PB-05

In a 2013 article on MetalSucks, it was revealed that Jari Mäenpää uses the Optogate PB-05, as part of Wintersun's tour gear. Teemu stated, "For all the vocals we use Shure SM58 microphones with Optogate PB-05s. The Optogate works with phantom power (from RME preamps) and has an optical sensor that can be adjusted to mute the microphone signal whenever the singer moves away from the mic. This helps keep unwanted stage noise out of the mics and makes our FOH engineer happy."

One of the best Bang For The Buck Bass Guitar

I'm a multi style bassist playing in jam session, jazz band, funk band and Rn'B / Soul bands. I was playing for years on a Warwick Corvette Standard Bunbinga / Ash and was searching for a cheap second choice bass to play in the street and in parks with friends. It's why I com to buy my first Squier CV70's Jazz Bass. When I bought it, I stopped playing the Warwick. The neck is fast and confortable at a point that it make it hard to love any other neck for me. At some point, I sold the Warwick and decide to by the American Fender version of the Squier. I also sold the squier. But years after years it appeared to me that I was missing my Squier. I finally sold the American JB to buy a Squier CV70's JB again. This bass is not perfect. It has some flaws that are common to cheap basses : - The varnish and finishes are poor. The bass will wear out rapidly. I mine, mine as a "relic" neck although I only have it since 3 years. - The electronics and pickup are poor (even for the Duncan Design version). - As the neck is design to be thinner than american JazzBass, it's easier to play but faster to unset. For those flaws I only put 4 out of 5 stars.

On mine, I juste change pickup and electronics for American Custom Shop Pickups and home made electronics. It now sounds like my American Fender, without the name. And it's ok for me.
