VFE MINI MU Envelope filter Mu tron III Clone... Now Discontinued so unusual to find in Purple Metal flake finish with Roman & Greek font... Deep & Wet sounding analogue filter which performs superbly with Octave & Subtle Flange effects' Original Box & Manual with rubber feet still to be installed.

Absolutley not' for ive found certain Boss & Mxr pedals were very dissapointing without naming specific items & ive recently bought discontinued pedals that work very well indeed on my board... ive sold 3Leaf items that they ask inflated prices for that for myself didnt perform 'that well' still this is a subjective thread that i enjoy reading.

After watching the Barefaced interview & explanitory audio for myself' this latest offering from origin could well be more successful than their previous fender & ampeg recreations? But the Price is going to be a stumbling block for many Andertons have them @ an eyewatering £449.00 this morning?

Swollen Pickle into a Big Muff..😉

This little unit looks & sounds very tempting indeed' those preset sounds are the buisiness.... myself i think i shall wait a while for the used market to flourish.. 😉

This is quite an investment & their is a steep learning curve to this particular pre..So i trust you get the best results for your outlay...( Take other preamps out of its signal path to hear just what it is imparting upon your tone)

My Latest update with the MXR poly blue...the Lightstone Tubebass 2 @ the end of the board is the Bomb!!!

Ah well' l thanks for your insightfull reply i guess its the old adage' there is nothing new under the sun....joking aside i didnt expect these ( New to the market preamps to be anything revelationary) for myself as my above script John East's brilliant preamps are still @ the highest standard for replacement & upgrading a Jazz Bass. Interestingly these T.F preamps are for j basses with 'Body Routed' output jacks only....as is the Sadowsky preamp also.... dissapointing that....?

I own the wonderfull JOHN EAST replacement J RETRO & J TONE preamps ( Seventeen years for J Retro) & Six for the J TONE.... Has anyone bought or demo'd these new Trickfish J Core Bass preamps....if so we are more than interested in your thoughts & findings..? i am lead to believe that they are the latest incarnation of the Mike Pope preamp..? Plus extra modification...?

Excellent features that interact very well indeed' multitude of synthy sounds both analogue & poly... phaser' fuzz if thats your bag... i will keep on experimenting with its sonic palate.

DSM & HUMBOLT SIMPLIFIER PREAMP BASS STATION... Cab sim's & blending & Ampeg SVT modeled analogue bass preamp ....with a myriad of routing options...Twin effect loops Twin DI's COMPLEX but rewarding.

GP Lightstone TubeBass 2 Twin Valve Preamp (Handmade in Germany) Twin Channel...Green/ Clean Red/ Saturation... Four Band Tonestack Controls... Pre & Master Volume Controls.

EBS Valvedrive will give you what you crave & something extra....the downside is its quite a bulky pedal with 12v input....

Ive been using the Cali 76 for years now & ive stopped Squeezing the sound so much...( & i thought i was being moderate with it) i dont play @ high volume...but if you can hear it as they correctly put it Your using too much!!!

Nordstrand Nj4 SV or SE....

Take it Out' Put it all back in' Then take it out again' F#%! this & F%#! that....& just when you think youv'e cracked it.....Yes' take it all out again!!!!!🤔😉😵‍💫

I put a Jazz Bass Vintage 63 Obsidian wire harness ( No longer in production) into a Squier VM fretless with upgraded pickups also..( Aguilar Jazz H.C) & there is a considerable improvement...in the instrument tonally but' they are a fiddley installation certainly not a five minute job at all & after lots of F%#!!!!! this & just why the F%#!!!! did i buy that.....i was happy with the finished project.... I did buy all of the replacement parts on the used market.

GP Lightstone Tube bass 2 made in Germany' i bought it here on B.C. Twin valve' twin channel 4 band tonestack fantastic passive valve sound pre amp' i believe they retail new' @ around the €300 mark.
