I approve of this thread! I’m looking for a P or PJ and when @AndyTravis stuck this on sale I had a few ppl suggesting it would be the best I would find... for me the look wasn’t what I was after.... but the clear guard really improve it. Gold Anodised aluminium would be worth photoshopping too.

Like nothing from the U.K. says it’s limited at all.

I was looking at that - Where does it say it’s limited edition? I couldn’t see it on the Yamaha UK website

Charcoal frost metalic... originally with a parchment pick guard... I had Bassdoc make me a tort one.

snap! what colour is yours?

Unless they are doing a version where a clear coat on top has yellowed slightly- similar to how lake placid blue can go turquoise on old basses

I think you are asking very specific questions that ultimately come down to taste... A better question would be - "I live in XX - does anyone near me have any five string basses I could come and try the nut width in a socially distanced way please?"

When this was advertised locally @mark_ir , knowing I’m looking for a P bass, pointed me in its direction. I was sat next to my wife when I opened the picture and it’s the first time she’s ever told me I’m not to buy a bass! She was not a fan of mocha I think my conclusions are, I’m glad it’s gone home to Pete and my wife isn’t a Van Helen fan

I prefer 42mm P bass nuts and have found 44mm to be too much for me. I got my first 5 string, a Lakland which has a 46mm nut and it’s an effortless switch for me from 4string (with a 36mm of 41mm nut) admittedly that is a wee bit wider than marus. narrow option.

How do you find 44mm Nuts on precision Bass 4 string?

@ped’s bundle, ped’s rules

12” and horn - sounds awesome

I would ask Stevie but I would imagine the BCcab would pretty much bang on good match for a ABM600 if that’s what you’ve bought ...

Yay you got it!! it it helps you feel any better - if you take inflation into account you only probably payed 2x not 5x what you sold it for. glad it’s come home!

Or a ... there’s some really cracking Japanese makers aren’t there? Ild love a navigator

Or even an older Japanese metro

I think wee sound/video clips would be good. There's the "what can this do" full feature set Alex-Claber-geekout stuff, which is what the technological able lot will want... but there's also the "if you want this sound look this is how I do it" - and just show that warm Motown OD sound, and then Rodger Glover etc. - the I-don't-want-to-have-to-think-about-this baseline setting thing.

or even active basses with all the knobs and switch to a P bass with just two... it's about the interface IMO - both analogue and digital. About ten plus years ago I had a Line6 Pod thing, it got sold after the second Gig where I managed to overwrite my patch within 3 min or starting. Too fiddly and annoying. Fast forward to now and the HX stomp is simple enough interface that for my use it's good enough that the benefits outweigh the complexity. I mean this as lovely constructive feedback to your marketing copy: I think this is something that isn't apparent in your marketing copy. I read it as distortion and fuzz and aimed at a lot more processed sounds. I think, esp with cleaner rigs there's a massive use in a basic distortion sound. One of my fave pedals I had was a clone of the Caitlinbread SFT ... which is essentially a transistor version of a SVT circuit ... what was nice wasn't the extreme sounds but the things it could do at low settings, how it could help the bass sit in the mix nicely. I'ld be interested in knowing what the machinist does at that end - and then how the clean channel can help support it... If you think about the amount of players who use the sans amp to do essentially the same thing... and really that's what I use my HX stomp for...

I would think of two or the big twin then. Or a few of the 2x10 they make that won't be tuned as deep and are more efficient

more seriously- I imagine there's a part of this pedal which is @alexclaber coming up with something cool with a mate and wanting to release it - just cos it's cool and exciting for him. If they are made to order then there's no real biggie if they don't sell crazy well - worst happens is nobody buys them and he just ends up designing his own pedal for himself... Cos it's fun and interesting is a reason people do things sometimes - I guess at some point Crazy Kiwi and Ped thought it would be fun to start a forum to chat about bass in the uk...

Oh cool a thread about that new Barefaced pedal... oh look it's up to 8 pages already and I've already missed the part where everyone falls out....

could you approach it a different way? - you only have a certain amount of clean watts - so more higher efficiency speaker cabs will get more volume per clean watt... If you use a 1x12 cab, get another one etc

oooh I like that!

I had forgotten them! Will be loading the amps to Jon Ellis's ones - they are quite nice starting places
