artefakt can do that on the second fs ...
It's a pretty awesome envelope filter if you could make use as that.
It's also £300 and lots of editing on a computer to get the best out of it so it's got that going against it.
it's lovely. mine is a "classic" variant with alder body and a bit darker sounding than the usual ash/maple ones - and the low output dark pickups the sound has such a middy thing going on that Bart preamp basically had such a mid knob that acted almost as a volume!
The East pre is amazing - really really high fidelity and you can set it inside to react like you want - on my one I borrowed a pre-EB stingray and tried to match the preamp on that as much as I could with the bass and treble controls. So much so I didn't buy the stingray.
With the preamp and pickups now it's in the situation where the bass doesn't get much play time at home - then I take it out and in the Mix it just works so so so well!
lovely! I've a 5 94 that is amazing ... but I always forget how amazing till I play it!
1998 model I think- the original Bart pickups and a John East UniPre
Zoom ms70cdr is quite well regarded in the synth world it seems.
if you want flexibility would something like hx effects with lots of footswitches (or LT aren’t silly money any more secondhand)
It's not just the DSP though, it's how it's used. Neunaber wet reverb is still good today, and that's based on FV1 chip - it's just really well programmed.
Last two things available:

Fairfield Shallow Water clone in 125b £160 posted
some wee pricedrops there -wasn't really intending to drop the price on the Shallow Water clone as I like it a lot - I dunno if I updated the decription but it's not got a nice DC jack on it at the right size (!) and I rebaised the bucket brigade chip so it sounds lovely.
