I read up on power supplies and went with Vitoos DD-12 , very good Boss OC-5 I still haven’t given it a full run through but I think a good option from Boss considering the scarcity and price of OC-2 by the look of it FKT AUDIO - “ The Fretless” think it’s a dumb name but this is an excellent pedal. I’m looking at other pedals in their range given how good this one is

“Root Down” is very good

this week on NZ Trade Me Pedulla MVP Tobias Classic V Alembic Mark King 1966, and 2x1972 Fender Jazz Stingray , Rickenbacker, Warwick options

on the NZ Auction site this week there is a Gibson era "Classic" which is the neck through model it's a 5'er and I'm thinking about it , if I could try before buy would be helpful

sorry to hear that location means I don't trade on this site but reading contributors to here I think buying and selling would be something I would engage in "The Vibe"

i had a go at Dave holland "Lazy Snake" I'll see if I can find it

must tune up to pitch cannot tune down to pitch

thanks team top thread

I'm keeping both the OC-2 and OC-5 I see some believe there's a difference between MIJ and MIT, prices certainly reflect that

there's a fantastic article on TB on the design , process and staff at Gibson for the Tobias years a very interesting read "Tobias Growler Club" The Growler was an attempt to gain leverage in the Stingray and Fortress market , I think it's a top quality instrument and would like an unlined fretless 5 should that unicorn appear

chorus or flanger effects were very popular in the 1980's also roundwound strings

the 1995-97 Gibson era Tobias Growler have a superb electronic system I've not tried the latest reboot

AJ was quite involved in the early days of Bass Player USA He had some forceful opinions I was able to read and contemplate his thoughts and apply or try them in various musical situations He was a Principled Ideas man

I’ve been bringing my own chair

I have a Pau Ferro fretless but it's never had rounds on it , so I'm not much use there
