I hope you enjoy it. The vids don't sell it to me unfortunately. Maybe if I get to try one in person, it might be different

I'm a bit of an mxr fanboy too. I found the same with the bass od, and the bass chorus too. They both sound pretty meh to me, and have also been down the darkglass route, and now own both a b3k and vmt. They sound great in most environments, but I have ended up with an ehx glove on my main bands board. For me the issue with the mxr bass od is the preset clean eq. I couldn't get on with losing that mid frequency presence. Dark sounding drives are great in the right situation, but without the option to temper it with a true clean sound severely limits the options.

They're using immigrant song in a computer game ad- destiny I think

Been following this thread on tb for a while now. Seems quite exciting

The oc2 has the same issue broadly speaking. There are a couple of alternatives, which are fairly easy to source. The ebs octabass, and mxr bass octave deluxe. (Loads of demo vids on YouTube) These are the more common alternatives. ime, the ebs does a better 'smooth' octave, whereas the mxr will do better giving a slightly harder tone. The pog is a digital octave, and can sound quite artificial. Some like it that way though, so horses for courses and all that! Your best bet is to try as many as you can, and find that which floats your boat

I assume it's down to differing factories over the years, as well as perceived changes in fashion. The two I have currently have different head stocks. One drop top and one reverse. Personally I don't like the batwing/ testicle rest headstock as in the link, but rather the more traditional two a side headstock seen more commonly on a mockingbird these days.

I have to disagree spacey- both the DBS heads and the vba heads are absolutely superb. It's just a shame that the success of their guitar line has overshadowed all other attempts to diversify their product line. Perhaps a victim of their own success?

....and set to record

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1416620709' post='2612093'] One of these would be quite nice http://www.bcrich.com/products/view/mockingbird-plus-bass [/quote] That one is on the wish list!!

I've seen the double neck bitch, but I wasn't aware of a double neck mockingbird in association with Derek smalls

And the 'modified' versions- [IMG]http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w262/dudewheresmybass/E66A4A8B-055D-4D12-A254-0B9BF3CF5AA4.jpg[/IMG]

Personally I can't stand the testicle rest headstock. It has to be either 2 a side or 4 in line for me I'm afraid

Cheers flateric- I think!!

Love bobs playing, and really enjoyed the book. If he ever decides to sell the p, I might be persuaded to take it off his hands

Currently I have three bcr basses- 2 warlocks (one with a reverse headstock) and an ironbird. I am desperately looking for a blood spattered warlock finish like the one in the god gave rock and roll to you II video, and would early love a mockingbird or wave or eagle come to that!! I could quite comfortably say I'm a fan!! Many sneer at these gems, but I love them to bits!!

Cool! Great pre. Very versatile!!!!

I have a constant fight against gas. Currently I have over 150 pedals, 6 guitars, more than 15 basses, 3 bass heads, 6 cabinets, 3 PA systems and a variety of guitar and bass related gadgets. Fortunately I haven't bought a new bass in over two years, but I did ask a friend to build me a modified Electra drive on Friday! As you can see, pedals are my kryptonite. It's always just one more, but I pretty much always keeps them just in case! My wife has given up on trying to reign me in- it's a nun achievable goal I'm afraid. I've come to the conclusion I'm just a hoarder. Hopefully it will leave my kids with some interesting bits and bobs, that may even be worth something

Neil Murray pls Perhaps someone like ruddy sarzo, Glenn Hughes, Rex brown???

Tbh meh

Definitely needs a decent rig to make it sound best, although, having said that, I run the organ line straight to pa, and dry to my rig. Sounds huge!

Been using mine regularly since July. Love it. I can thicken the bands sound up nicely when using it on purple stuff, stevie wonder, and many more. As long as I'm careful about not going below an open a it works beautifully

If I had the wonga, I'd be all over this like madonna in an African kids creche
