    I like it 👍 touch of Mars Volta springs to mind 😎🥳 class👍👍

    Thanks mate. I remember a couple of reviews at the time pointing out the vocal similarly to the MV.

     

    I've actually just picked up an M80, would you believe! A friend of mine decided to sell his so let me borrow it to see if I still get on with it.

     

    First impressions, the lack of control over the distortion is disappointing, bass distortion has moved on in leaps and bounds and the gain only control does make the M80 seem quite dated. An update with a more flexible drive channel would be most welcome.

     

    That said, the distortion is voiced very sympathetically and blends extremely well with the clean channel as it is so I'm already quite pleased with the tones I'm getting with my Warwick Thumb.

     

    Here's a useful comparison video I found. In all examples, I like the M80 the best.

    Way overproduced and very oddly mixed as well, it kind of sounds like everything has been run through a ton of really cheap reverb, something the like of the Behringer pedal one, making everything sound oddly thin as disjointed, but beside that I love it, and I can imagine how awesome it could sound if produced and mixed better, I totally get what you were going for, and actually the bass tone is pretty amazing still.

     

    Thanks... I guess? 😆

    It sounds exactly how it's supposed to.

    i love when I see basses that have spoof names....you cant tell from a distance, but up close its a MusicMom Sinkray

    My favourite was a Rick copy that looked authentic, but up close the truss rod cover read "RonnieBarker".

    Yes! He was excellent. Sadly another great rock musician lost to drugs. 

    I'd assumed @Skybone meant Paul Gray from The Damned.

     

    As for the other PG, I can't think of anything particularly notable about his playing, but I don't think I listened past the 3rd (4th?) album

    His playing was actually all over the shop on MFKR, he reined it in quite a bit as he went on.
