A Taste Of Honey - Herb Alpert

It's fun to see what I had to say years ago when a thread gets reanimated like this... Pleased to say that in nearly four years my attitude hasn't changed. Only the numbers...

Two things and this isn’t gospel… 1. It’s as ‘plug and play’ as this type of unit can be in it’ll work for almost everyones playing style but you may need to make very minor adaptations to your playing style - it’s as good a synth pedal as any bassist wanting to do the synth thing will find out the box. 2. It’s the closest and easiest ‘out of the box’ in terms of its actual sounds and in that regard it’s as ‘plug and play’ sound wise as you might want with enough scope to refine or edit to taste. In the same way something like a classic OC2 octave pedal has to be ‘played’ due to its quirkiness/glitch related behaviours there are little changes we might need to make with some gear to make it work.

I had five at one time,two always got ignored. Then four,one always got ignored. three is the magic number for me. I can't think of a single scenario where one of my 3 can't/won't do the job. I could even go down to two and say the same thing. The prices of both new and used basses is getting a bit silly now anyway in a lot of instances and the "wheel" is not exactly being reinvented. Rolled fingerboard edges for example mean very little to me in the grand scheme of things.

And the necks are done but I still need to eyeball them for QC.

you can still explore without massive weight or cost - I made this - it’s a clone of a L4 preamp - it’s got a pretty awesome tone.

"Beware the man who only has one gun. He probably knows how to use it!" I currently own no firearms, but have many basses. Make of that what you will.
