I never got my free bass strings, and they have never responded to any emails.

@bremen beat me to the gag, so I'll be boring and answer the question. It's a very powerful, very clean little amp. I used the Glow plug to roughen up my sound because it's so clean. What makes it special is the onboard compressor. A real high quality bit of kit.

For Bandeoke this evening. Orange Little Bass Thing into Barefaced Midget/Compact stack. and on top of the amp my secret make it sound a bit rougher sauce

I bought the original and I can confirm that it needed the clean blend. However I have yet to try the Lizard King

I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the quality of their products.

I would like to echo these remarks. I have both and prefer the MOSFET, I find them quite different.

People talked a lot of trash about the brand back in the day, that stuff seeps into us whether we like it or not.

OK as promised a short clip of the Behringer B-Tron followed by the Red Rocket Tron lll. I thought I'd stick with the same riff used above. The first thing i noticed was the B-Tron is compressed quite significantly in comparison with the Tron lll. Just a glance at the waveforms after I recorded the clips showed way more dynamic change within the Red Rocket recording. The B-Tron was very square by comparison.

I was about to make a similar post. The Digbeth probably tips the balance for me, but the Tone Hammer is a great option too

First band I ever saw live. Lizzy with the Gorham/Robertson axis. Colston Hall I think in '77. Astonishing and absolutely life changing for me. Followed not long after by Motorhead.

Not yet. It came with rounds when I bought it so I'll let them wear out first

My reggae bass is ready. Friend of mine gave it a makeover...

What bass is Phil sporting here please?

I did three gigs with my sunburst HB JP450 yesterday, and it received a lot of compliments for it's look and sound. I have to say it was extremely easy on the shoulder after more than five hours of gigging and I had no problem getting a good sound at wildly differing venues.

That's a very good question. I'll try to record a side by side

Gig number two was a success. Afternoon Sunday gigs can be a bit slow but these guys were up for it. Set up ready for number three now back in the centre of Bristol. My feet hurt.

First of 3 today done. One hour set at a St Patrick's day thing in Bristol. Travelling light today because of all the travel.

Mine just arrived and it definitely is not going back. A lovely wet, splashy envelope. The down stroke is the best I've heard. Looks great, sounds great 👍

Nice covers all the essentials 👌

Ha! I felt one of each would be enough 🤣

No

I have one of each and they are excellent instruments.
