I have used Alembic F2Bs for the last twenty years, for both string and electric bass, and I recommend it highly. It is simple, quiet, and reliable, and most important, it sounds very good in almost any setting. I find the sound to be what I would characterize as 'accurate+', in other words, it helps the instrument sound like itself, and adds a little extra (warm bass, slightly scooped-out mids, very pretty highs with accurate-sounding finger/string noise).
