I asked an AI to do me an image of 2 of my favourite bass players: Duck Dunn and Bootsy Collins.
Instead of generating them separately the AI went all BrundleFly...
I think this is the longest I've ever had without buying something.
I'm actually practicing with the gear I have already, and I've even recorded a couple of bass cover vids.
It feels so very wrong.
I've got a Roland Cube that I've had for probably close to 20 years and it's been rock solid and still sounds great.
The 30W one (that I have) is great for home and gigs with acoustic instruments, but underpowered for anything bigger.
IIRC there was a 120W combo that was very loud but also really heavy.
Other than that and the TC I can't think of any bass amp that had reverb.
Keep it. I think the Specials (P and J) are some of the best basses Fender ever made. Slimmer comfy necks, slightly thinner and lower weight body. All suitable for tuner / pickup upgrades if you want.
If you want another bass as well - set up a small monthly payment into a savings account and forget it's there. It will add up quickly enough.
You can always do non-reversible modifications in the meantime - if you like the Frank Bello sound - swap the pickups for EMGs. The X Series J pickups have loads of headroom and bite.
I've never heard of a 3 people limit either.
My favourite set up is a trio, or 3 and a singer, mainly because it usually leaves more space for me to badly rip off Jack Bruce.
I just had a look at the specs.
No ratio control? That would seem to limit the squish available as an actual effect. I can't see the ratio setting mentioned anywhere on the website. Presumably it's a secret then...
Aye.
I want one, and I'm happy to look at used ones, even when the price sensibly takes into account the actual landed price, but those eijits listing theirs for £800+ can do one.
I've just seen a comment on a youtube vid that apparently Joe has said there will be a run of these every year now.
I can't find the original, but I'm hoping it's true.
