What the hell are you on about? What is a phone, and what is this camera you speak of? Sounds like witchcraft to me.

Paranoid Chant - Minutemen

As said, that's the specs listed for the amp, not the cab. Which though doesn't make any sense. Also the just preamp weighting 26lbs, exactly the same as the full head. Indeed! Some rather wacky specs on most of the stuff on that site.

Child in Time - Deep Purple

And the chorus goes: "Quite the pickle you put me in!" This mod was made popular by Brian Wampler in a YouTube video, if memory serves me right.

SBL lost it's credibility long ago. Down to Ian's scribed gestures and facial expressions, and all the way down to his very fake laugh. The world has enough bad actors as it is. This is just a way to get clicks from Lizzo fans, cause she's popular.

Everyone I Went to High School With Is Dead - Mr. Bungle

I for one appreciate that. I don't know what it is with Fender and 19 frets necks with the last 3 frets sitting on the body, being inaccessible.

Isn't that only because you see a "not Fender Jazz" Bass, rather than an unique instrument/model in it's own regard?

I think it looks great! Certainly better than a traditional Fender Jazz Bass.

Cool! I 100% approve on trying to bring the Sunn amp brand back. But when that is said, as many already pointed out, at those prices for those kind of specs definitely something I'll even consider, and I doubt they are going to stay in business for long. If I should ever want the Sunn amp sound at some point I'll buy one of the many Sunn preamps on the market from smaller builders, maybe even one with tubes, I know a couple like that that are quite reasonably prices, an allegedly pretty amazing.

Yes, just like the new Squier Paranormal Rascal Bass (and the old original Fender Rascal Bass for that matter). Which I think might have been the exact point with suggesting the Rapier as being an alternative to the Rascal Bass (beside them both having a similar bridge + neck humbucker pickup configuration, and being in just about the same kind of price class as well). Though the Rapier is 31" scale length, while the Rascal is standard 30" short scale.

This is what it says about the other smaller G2220 Electromatic Junior Jet like bridge pickup on the page that the link in the OP leads to: So it's a custom humbucker by Fender themself.

At the moment I am in the process of a complete rearrangement of my pedal setup, which is part of my "amp-less" setup, but this is how it most likely is going to end up (I have used an online pedal board organizing app to do this, it was lacking some of my pedals, so I have used the ones that had the closest resemblance to the actual pedals of mine missing, and numbered those, so I could list what they represent): 1 : Danelectro FAB Metal 2: EHX Black Finger 3: HoTone Trem 4: Mosky Black Rat 5: Mosky XP Booster (secured under the pedal board) 6: XVive Undulator (secured under the pedal board) 7: Monarch MFL-22 Stereo Flanger 8: Joyo Oxford Sound 9: ART Tube MP Project Series (the picture doesn't resemble this ART tube preamp at all, other than by approximate size) 10: Behringer VP1 Vintage Phaser (this is a picture of the correct pedal, just partially covered by a pedal that is to be secured under the board) 11: Zoom B1Xon And this is what my temporary setup looks like currently, until I have the full setup proper pedal board sorted again:

Yes, that's exactly what I said in my initial reply to you: As in the ones they use new for the new Paranormal Rascal Bass is not the same pickup, since it doesn't sound muddy at all, but actually pretty nicely well defined and articulate.

Ebony can be brown with white/grey figures, Macassar Ebony often is, just like it, at least looks like, on the pictures you posted of your bass before you treated the fretboard. I don't think it is Ebony though, but it looks even less like Pau Ferro, in fact nothing like Pau Ferro, at least not on those pictures (I realize though that it might have looked differently in person than on the photos). I personally think it looked very unique and beautiful (again at least on the pictures), but hey, it's your bass.

This changes everything! Call whatever the British equivalent to FBI is immediately! This is an X-Files! And who knows, this Phil Lynott rash might be infectious and spread!

On a completely different note, it's quite an odd spot to drop a blob of solder. Not in any possible way suggesting that he did it on purpose, that would make even less sense, just genuinely can't wrap my head around how it could possibly end there.

It does look like the figures in the wood are gone, which I otherwise thought looked very unique and beautiful. Also, judging from the 2 pictures OP originally posted, it definitely looked a lot more like figured Ebony than Pau Ferro, as otherwise suggested by OP, but honestly I don't think it really looked like neither.

The Paranormal Pascal got a neck and bridge pickup, I would think the neck pickup would have been more boomy, which doesn't seem to be the case, than this middle position one, if it indeed is the same pickup. So no, not really, not in this context. Though pickup placement does have a rather big impact on tone in general.

I would think it would naturally be so on relatively lower gain and/or relatively higher clean mix settings, and be more prominent and obvious the more gain and the more drive is added to the mix. Also I would think the difference between respectively the mainly even and mainly odd harmonics drive settings to be most obvious (forgot which drive setting number is what).
