My first bass was an Eros! Not the same one though, an EB-3 copy, natural finish. Bought for me by my parents for £20. It was a lot of money in those days (1995)! Sorry to digress. As you were!

It's not unheard of for established bands to recruit new members from tribute acts...

You're joking, surely?!

If ever you find yourself in Dartford you're welcome to try mine.

You're like my technical spirit guide! That sumo looks impressive. I'm intrigued!

I don't understand a word of that 🤣

That's odd. I keep the lows around 1 and that's pushing it! I did suspect you would return to your trusty Para Driver, it seems to be very 'you'!

Absolutely incredible. What's the top wood?

Danelectro Longhorn.

The curse of the signature pedal I suppose. Tailored for one person's specific needs. I have the high knob around 1 o' clock, and that's plenty of top! I wouldn't want to push it much higher. I am keeping the drive around 12 though. I imagine the highs could get a lot more glassy with more drive. I haven't had the joy of trying the GED sadly. One day!

Forgive the generalistation but does turning down the high control not tame the brightness? Not sure what you mean by the GED and BDDI being 'normal', surely they are all voiced differently?

Are you using it in front of your main amp or as a preamp?

I've just spent a nice couple of hours with the pedal. Inspired by Stuart Clayton's demo, I've been playing around with the Chris Squire setting. It's very, very impressive.
