You’ve already fitted right in. 👍

Anyone compared the Boss GX10 with the Boss GX-1B ?

I want recommendations for tube pres that breakup. I can name you three right now but sadly i've never tried any of them. Overdriving the preamp tubes is the most common way to create distortion in tube amps these days and usually sounds good. See paul_5's response above on the how the SVP Pro's distortion circuit works. Saying "you're talking about power amp distortion" or "you're talking about speaker distortion" a) is wrong, b) doesn't answer the question, and c) is annoying because it implies the questioner doesn't know what they're talking about.

Ah, sadly I sold mine but mainly because it was noisy. They're pretty rare

@run 3 Welcome! Glad to have you here

You see, the effect of the title is already working: That piqued your interest.

Welcome! Great to see you joining the bass side as well. PolyTrack

Tried it again at volume and I think it sounds best Compressor Off Shape Off It then sounds full and punchy In isolation the Shape ON sounds wonderful but you get buried in the mix so OFF is better unless you play slap perhaps

I'd like to add there briefly was a Stingray neck-through, and there were some wonderful limited editions and anniversary models that are hard to come by. 20th anniversary: The 4-string got a mahogany body, quilted maple top, red tort pickguard and no control plate. Quite sexy! Stingray 5 20th anniversary (yes, specifically for the 5's birthday): this one really hit the ball out of the park in 2007 with a flamed or quilted maple top, natural maple faux-binding (just veneer-thin but enough to add a beautiful contrast). To me this is the sexiest Stingray ever built; 30th anniversary: like your regular Stingray 3EQ but with a mahogany body, and a gloss finished neck in matching colour (dark red); 35th anniversary: arguably the second-sexiest Stingray ever made, at least in my opinion! Based on the current Stingray Special, these have an ash body with a spalted maple top in sunburst, with a natural faux-binding, ebony fingerboard with "copper pearloid" block inlays and they look business; Stingray 5 30th anniversary: white, tort guard, roasted maple neck and fingerboard and white fingerboard bindings; The elusive 2001 NAMM 100th anniversary silver Stingray with Status Graphite neck, harking back to the pre-EB 1981 Cutlass 1 basses; Many, many very nice limited "colour of the year" limited editions, Premium Dealer Network exclusives and Vault-exclusive finishes that could only be ordered directly through EBMM's own webshop.

Some crazy Canadian mathtyperock...

Autocorrect does not know about detuning a bass.

I think the drawing in post1 was amended after your suggestion as those are the dimensions on my copy of the drawing. Thank you.

The ebony dust / epoxy (or ca glue) method mentioned by @Andyjr1515 works really well. The filled holes will be virtually invisible.

Here’s my red one. A 1986 MIJ. I think I did this before he got his, so it’s nice to know I inspired him 👀🤣

Not sure bandmates will want to call it the "Don't e.p."! Or are you saying we should spare the world the pain of releasing an obviously disturbing racket into an already shattered world? Though that could also be a good title, in the spirit of Iain M Banks!

What upgrades does it have?

In The Ghetto - Elvis P.

Can confirm. (I'm assuming autocorrect messed up the word "Detuning" here - putting a Stingray in drop D definitely made me play RATM)

The Beauty Of Dead Cities - Borknagar

I understand the idea of the singlecut bass is to build a more rigid neck by having it meet the body earlier. This should mean a tighter, more focused sound - but that won't necessarily be a good thing for many bassists. I've always thought singlecuts can be very sexy, ever since seeing Edsel "Touché" Eusebius with his Elrick in Intwine. I didn't like the band but that bass left a lasting impression with me. And I've always loved the look of Benavente, their SCB and SCD shapes look amazing to me. Sleek, elegant. The SCB is very Fodera-like, but the SCD's upper bout is just different enough to look unique IMO. SCB: SCD:

Don't!

S.U.B. USA are 2 EQ and slab bodied I like them but def try before you buy
