I haven't got any answer to your question, so please bear with me. I'm just curious whether you played the TH with AGS on or off. As far as I understand, the preamp of TH is super clean, so it's the AGS function which makes it sound warm. I've got a Tone Hammer preamp v1, and the AGS is always on with gain set somewhere before it gets some grit. You've probably already seen this one, but if not, it might be helpful. Or not.

FWIW Vonderplanetz - Door to Midnight

Basses: Best: Music Man Stingray 4 3EQ fretless, 2005, just one off the shelf, nothing special, but feels and plays the best Second best: Music Man Stingray 4 2EQ, 2005, same as above Third place: Harley Benton MP-4, occasionally fitted with Tone Pump Jr. Rather good: Spector NS Pulse II Worst purchase: Fender AVRI '62 Precision Gear: Best: Ampeg SVT-3 Pro Second best: Aguilar Tone Hammer preamp v1 Worst: Ashdown Mi10 with a 3rd party speaker

Have you been vaccinated with seriousness?

They didn’t say “to play”, though, did they?

The strings look like D'Addario Chromes, so two times thumbs up Great strings for fretless.

Fender AVRI '62 Precision. I hated its very thin neck profile.

I wonder if there are some terabells and petabells on the YT as well.

They probably mean it actually is Squier, not Squire.

Every instrument from Harley Benton I had was crafted better than this. Sorry to hear about your experience @N64Lover. I'm crossing my fingers for it getting sorted soon.

Nothing to do with IBM z196 then? P.S.: sorry for off-topic.

I haven’t compared them personally, but a guy who bought one of The Duke from me, told me, it sounded quite the same as Fender PV63.

There have been rumours about Tonerider making PUs for one of those better known and more expensive manufacturers.

some of these maybe? https://www.palmer-germany.com/en/Products/DI-Boxes/

To me, it was a Jazz bass (especially a '70s one) with the bridge pickup's volume set full on and the neck one's for about a third but also a Stingray (it was 3EQ one), both strung with stainless steel roundwound strings (DR Hi-Beam), that sounded woody.
