Happy to start things off here - my Anima Nova sound post has been a game-changer for me. Living in Canada where the climate swings between +40 and -40 celcius, and humidity can go from rainforest-like to bone dry, my bass expands and contracts like crazy! Add in occasional travel, the ability to adjust this soundpost easily keeps my bass sounding and responding the way I like. Definitely recommend for folks who travel lots with their bass, or live in a climate like mine!
I know there are some other options out there for adjustable posts - does anyone have experience with them?
