If you want send it to me and I'll rehouse it for you in a bigger enclosure.

It’s really good unpacking it - I’m fairly sure in most cases no one ever wants to hear hum, scratches and cable cut outs through their bass rig or the venue subs* - but there’s lots and lots of fun stuff in there that will work lovely on bass *yes this is probably small minded of me, and the next person will come in saying how they intentionally hold their mobile phone over the pickups while jiggling a loose Jack as the centrepiece of the bridge, or alternatively I’ll find out I’ve just not found that jazz sub genre …

This is worth a look

We have a local swap shop, I found it easier to swap for a token item than give away for some reason. mind you I did dismantle the old man next doors kitchen and was dreading multiple trips to the tip but someone came and took it off me. buying and selling is always a bit random. I’ve picked things up before and there’s a whole thing where both parties are so conscious of scammers it gets a bit akward!!

Try Korg U.K.? my guess is as a mechanical part, after all the years the pre/post switch is broken and is causing the cutouts wicked sounding pedals however old

Dusk as controllable filter sweep and Josh wah as envelope filter sweep?

I looked on the aguilar site!!

Where?

That tone hammer looks cool - some kind of limited finish?

It’s one on my shortlist to try - is it mutron style low pass thing?

Soft clipping ?

The interesting thing about the TAB1043, esp in low power mode, is the super low slew rate. My suspicion that I have no ability to prove either way is that given how many ppl have copied the circuit and ended up with “almost but cleaner” outcomes is that the combination of super low slew rate and the phase delay of the filter make the filter sound.

@Quatschmacher question for you … other than “low fi” what kinda character does the reverb on the artifakt have? I think often the best reverbs for bass are a bit different than on guitar- so some of the popular bass reverbs aren’t massively high res. It looks like it’s got ability to cut the lows?

Depends if hardware is same… and any protection they have installed! dare you to try it!

the thing is the P bass' beauty is its simplicity... the ingredients are fairly set, you can upgrade pickups and go for different sounds, or maybe better tuners ... but thats it. the simplisity means I think there's less variation between the sounds you would want, whereas jazz styles are a bit more variable.... so if you have a good P - why would you ever want or need to sell it? Even if you end up playing 6 string fan fret through neck d-tuner 4 pickup piezo equipped filter preamp at you jazz gig/pub - the P will do the P thing better than anything else - you you will keep hold of it....

They do look good

bit of a small box effect for you Ped

I expect there’s a level where one person can get the freely available schematic and get together a pcb and make batches of decent pedals and sell at a profit - where a larger corp would end up sinking more money into R&D (in wages) and electrical testing and then need to sell cheaper so distributors can take a decent cut too… so the economic model might not be there… esp when there’s the risk behringer might come in with a £50 version. I hope he realises he will get as much interest from bass players as much as frusciante-worshippers

Still lets you go to basket with it - do they cancel it later?
