For that money, I'm tempted myself

I suspect there is a fender endorsement deal going on. There was a big giveaway last year iirc of a fender bass with a RB album graphic design. The bass on Jools looked like a jag with a mud bucket type pup in place of a p. Defo a custom job 😉

I've thought this exact thing many times over. Chasing all the 'pedals of the moment' that people rave about either here or on talk bass. I've found that, for me, very very few actually live up to the hype. (Inc source, boutique brands, and some of the ehx products) The boss offerings, as well as the ampeg inspired ones don't work for me. It has cost me an absolute fortune over the years!! The ones I've had the best results with are the bass soul food, bass tubescreamer, dod bass overdrive, cream pie for subtle drive and the glove for lemmy grind I don't have much use for full on drive/ distortion tones- so I don't have anything on my boards at the moment to cover that.

I'll second the Amazon book suggestion. Great book.

Prince Hendrix McCartney was a guitarist before bass player

Interesting stuff

Altars of madness - morbid Angel. Some light relief from teaching 😉

The old hr2 harmonist does pure octave up. Can be found quite cheaply too 😉

Soo good to see someone mention dread zep. I had the good fortune to work for them on a uk tour in the early 90's. Lovely lovely people and boy, did tortelvis know how to work a crowd!!

Allegedly the cp18 is a clone of the guitar version

Thanks for that Osiris. I knew I should have done a search 😉 I've got a couple I'm watching elsewhere at the moment, but this is definitely now on my radar. Cheers!! Be about your business - nothing to see here! 🙈

Apologies for the hijack, but is there such a thing as a bb pre amp clone ?

I've just picked up an eno octave on eBay for £19 delivered. It does 1&2 octaves down as well as one octave up. Tracks well down to fret 4 on the e string, and sounds pretty damn good. I'll be trying it out in anger tomorrow

Geezer butler - dirt and wah in nib, generally valve dirt throughout.

I've just received the pedalboard I bought from Xavier. Extremely well packaged- plenty of gaffer!! 😉👏 Such an easy and straightforward transaction. Deal with this dude in complete confidence Cheers

I had a play with one at stompbox the last time I visited. It's truly a superb piece of kit. The eq seemed to work very nicely, and I found my sweet spot very quickly

I have, and still do, in thrash and death metal bands. Fingers where I can, although sometimes I'll use a pick for speed

The weeping demon is so good, I own two 😉

Regarding the 2001 thing- didn't fender sell the zone bass which was extremely similar, if not identical, to the lyte?

I have a tobacco burst '95 which I bought as one of the last from fender. It's a real beaut! Chrome hardware and 50 sticker. Non matching headstock. Every time I take it out to gig, it's pretty likely that someone will ask to buy it! It ain't going anywhere!
