Ive been after this model for. While. Reallyvlike the 1505ms, wasnt too keen on the 1005ms (Bartolini sounds bit dull/flat compared to the Nordstrand pickups...), However, i really like the look of the 1265
The 1265 is my fave of all the EHB so far. I did not keep this bass however if I did I would use the Aguilar DCB. However, when you do the preamp tweak, switch the two internal connectors, the Barts sound much more lively and bright.
