Who Are the Brain Police? Zappa

Any update on this?

I've never found OC2s to be glitchy, unless your playing isn't very clean... If you're not ending your notes before you hit the next one you won't get clean tracking. I used to think most synth pedals were bad at tracking when I first got my Future Impact, but I soon realised it wasn't the pedal, it was simply revealing how untidy my playing was back then. Now I never have any issues with octavers/synths etc. But to answer your question, I would recommend: OC2 if you want a unique synth/sub-like tone. MXR Deluxe for an all-round go-to octaver that can do it all. 3Leaf if you've got a wad of cash in your pocket and crave Instagram likes.

I am sure that I saw somewhere that you can get two of these from a half sheet 1220 x 1220, Is this correct?

I'd agree with Lozz, the '74 Pure vintage sound great. They are a bit funny in one respect though - the neck is hotter than the bridge pickup. Normally it's the other way round. I did notice on Fender's website recently that they must have altered this, as the specs now read that the bridge is hotter than the neck, but this could be an error - probably worth contacting Fender to find out for sure. Another option could be the '66 Pure Vintage. These are wound less hot than the '74, with a value a lot more typical of an early '70s J than the '74s, so they may be actually more authentic despite the name. Fender J pickups started out at around 8k in the early '60s with the black bottomed ones. In the mid '60s they dropped down to between 6-7k and stayed around there until the late '70s, when they started creeping back towards 8k again. You can always pay more and go for Duncans, Fralins, Lollars, Brantley etc, These all sound great but are generally quite a bit hotter than real vintage mid 60s/70s pickups; they're a lot closer to 1962 spec, but if you want punchier tone and more mids they could be the way to go.

I find the Joyo XVI excellent, it's polyphonic and very responsive so doesn't have the glitchiness of some of the older pedals... which may be oart oftheir appeal for you.

Broughton Subsonic gets my vote. All the best bits of an OC2 with some upgrades.

Choose the one that feels nice and makes you want to pick it up and play it. Ideally, buy from a good shop that will do a set up for you.

Thank you！

That’s the way to do it!

Andy, should I put a cloth over the fretless board to prevent burning and should it be damp in this case also, the dowel holes, I can only really do through the nut slot, that's right isn't it?
