Bass cakes

[Fuzzbass2000]

For some reason I was expecting to see a thread about some new fangled pickups called "bass cakes".... but no, it's really basses, made out of real cake. Yum.

But,which one's best for metal ... a Black Forest Gateaux or something heavier, like a Hewa Cake....?

I bet the sustain on those is rubbish

Not really sure where best to post this but my superb Mrs not only turns a blind eye to my reckless spending on bass gear, she also makes a very nice bit of cake and combined these two amazing and brilliant things to make this stingray cake for my 40th recently.

The cake was wicked although the playability and tone of the Stingray needed some work, I also blew up my amp when I plugged the cake into it. All in all, tasty but no good on a gig.

Any other bc'ers out there with basscake anecdotes?

Did you notice much of a difference having a cake with the three band EQ rather than the traditional two band EQ found on the pre - EBMM Stingrays?

Well, that's a really good point because despite not being a stingray owner I picked up on that straight away. I congratulated my wife on recognising that the additional flexabilty in that EQ config would generally be a useful feature. In terms of it's application I'm not sure there was an explicit benefit as such but all of the knobs did taste good.
Btw can I just point out that I don't eat knobs as a rule, but in the interest of balance and tollerance I have no issue and am in no way judging those that do choose to eat knobs. There is plenty of room for all, live and let live etc.
For those of you who are interested it was not possible to eat all of the stingray cake before it started to get a little old so the remnants were turned into the base for a very nice trifle.
I bet Pino's old fretless stinger is still hanging around somewhere not being used. He (or the current owner of the bass) could learn a trick or two from my wife in terms of this kind of bass/food alchemy.
