    Wouldn't have a clue I'm afraid...

    This gets surprisingly close, but has its own thing going on. Bit more of a mid-mid punch, rather than the low-mid tone of the P-bass. Plus, I already have a Precision... 🙂

    It was a bit of a blind buy, as I had no choice but to order online, but been doing a fair bit of recording where a flat wound-strung short scale was the sound I was aiming for.

    So yeah, playing around with this today... It’s lacking a few inches off my other basses (feels really tiny!), but not missing any bottom end! I’m not big fan of signature instruments, or ‘relic’d’ basses really, but this one has excellent specs that I believe outweigh its price tag. Plus, Fender and Justin Meldal-Johnsen haven’t done any silly faffing with the concept. JMJ’s just got a really nice Mustang that they’ve cloned... Bit of a nervous wait for delivery (have always picked out an instrument in person before, but that’s really not an option right now...), but no major issues identified from its transit! Will need to have a look into some shielding paint/foil to counter 60-cycle hum at some point, but that seems to be fairly typical of these instruments.

    I would say the OC-5 has more bottom end (and considerably more volume) than the OC-2. Its a smoother octave, which some might prefer. To my ears, the OC-2 has something more going on in the mid frequencies that makes it seem fuller, even if it doesn’t go as deep as the OC-5. It’s a considerable step up from the OC-3, but I’m going to stay hoping for an OC-2w...

    Mine just arrived today so running some comparisons... It’s a fun pedal, but still OC-2 > OC-5

    Not done with the Markbass, but check out around 5:38 in this video. It’s a similar Moog-ish Bass tone. Afraid I’ve no idea re the programming of the Super Synth, but you want to be looking for an octave down, light gain, a downward filter and (maybe) chorus. Interested to hear how it turns out!

    Initial thoughts are that the Octabvre nails the OC-2 tone and feel, but that was really expected. Surprise was how close the Valeton is too. The MXR is close, tone-wise, but the ‘improved’ tracking makes it play slightly differently. However, it has its own thing going on and I actually prefer it to the Boss with the Oct-1 soloed. Any other recommendations for OC-2-alikes...?

    Well, my OC-5 is delayed, but other tryouts are going well...

    They certainly sound pretty close, but it’s hard to tell until you can hear how it reacts to the dynamics of your playing...
  19. iamtheelvy
    Yeah, I ordered from Andertons too, but I think GAK and all the rest are showing as unavailable at the moment too.
  20. iamtheelvy
    Still waiting on mine to be dispatched...

    OC-2 from April 1982 still working perfectly here!
  22. iamtheelvy
    Reasonable offers considered!

    Thanks!

    Nice. Seems to get closer to the OC-2 toward the end of the clip. Beginning’s a little smoother.
