I bypass the preamp in my amp and connect the Magellan Pre to the amp fx return socket. This allows me to use the amp as a poweramp and control volume from the pedal.

Thanks. I'm obsessed with Sean Hurley.

I have one. I also have a Keeley compressor pro in front of it. I can't compare it to the Genz-Benz but can say that it is identical to the preamp on the Magellan amplifiers. The DI out is excellent.

I bought my LH Fender Jazz online from them and got terrific support. I had opted for their Plek service and they were were very patient with my many requests including stringing the bass with my preferred strings to ensure the Plex process was as accurate as possible.

I can't help with the shim material but for the pickups I took mine out and put extra foam underneath to help maintain the pressure when resting my thumb on them.

I've always followed the Fender setup guide for my jazz bass. It is very helpful and does a good job of optimising the playability of the bass. https://support.fender.com/en-us/knowledgebase/article/KA-01903

I had a similar experience with my AM 2 Pro and changed the bridge to a Babicz. I detest the Fender bridges.

Both of the Will Sargeant memoirs are cracking reads. Lots of details of life in a band and the music biz. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bunnyman-Memoir-Sunday-Times-bestseller-ebook/dp/B091DSXXKL/ref=sr_1_2?crid=U514H12ZR6G9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.yELRZaZDFrz_6bIWMHk_wD-ADSPznVVt9rcGAAwMFVGf-TJY5L-Li3ZKhP4PZbQC.JuxBp0cV9a31O3eq0Xmw7M5AU7VLLHntKToIwsx2yRk&dib_tag=se&keywords=will+sargent+bunnymen+a+memoir&qid=1705055251&sprefix=will+sargent+bu%2Caps%2C87&sr=8-2 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Echoes-memoir-continued-ebook/dp/B0C5HJM49X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=U514H12ZR6G9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.yELRZaZDFrz_6bIWMHk_wD-ADSPznVVt9rcGAAwMFVGf-TJY5L-Li3ZKhP4PZbQC.JuxBp0cV9a31O3eq0Xmw7M5AU7VLLHntKToIwsx2yRk&dib_tag=se&keywords=will+sargent+bunnymen+a+memoir&qid=1705055268&sprefix=will+sargent+bu%2Caps%2C87&sr=8-1

Tom bought my Eich cab cover and freed me of the long-standing embarrassment of having bought a cover for a cab I didn't buy. I'm delighted it has finally found a home. Friendly comms and fast payment. I couldn't have asked for more.

How is it? I've been lusting after one of these for months.
