A friend on basschat told me of a Strymon pedal that has a very lovely tape saturation circuit. I think it's the Strymon Deco, also I believe the Becos compressor features tape saturation too, maybe the Fairfield accountant may work too, or the LeBass Preamp.

Not available in a lot of UK stores too😊 Yes with both pickups, it has a lot of bite to the sound, much like a 70s jazz. I initially fitted this with Dunlop Superbrights, and they were very bright, the Tomastiks balance it out nicely. Before buying this, I'd tried a Vintera Mustang (PJ) And a Stingray shortscale. This bass was better made and sounded better, at half the cost. -

Just to answer some questions, that have come my way. I've got this at 5.74lbs, very light. I don't find it has any neckdive. I'm aware some online reviews suggest it does,but I've found a few conflicting opinions,it's fine as far as I'm concerned. Neck is a very comfy C shape, with small 20 frets, and Rounded edges. It has a very slight bevelling to the forearm,its subtle probably as it has a carved top. No contouring on the back it's slab. -
Due to recent wrist issues, I bought this amazing Sire U5 in Mint Green, however try as i might I can't get on with the short scale,and smaller frets. Its a fantastic sounding and well built little bass It has the deep bass that shortscales are known for, but the maple board and 70s position back pickup give it a lot of bite ( reminds me of a 70s jazz). Its a Gen2 Sire so has the new Marcus Revolution pickups and the lovely rolled fingerboard edges, making it very comfy to play. I bought this brand new from Andertons,a bit under 3 months ago. I've literally had this out for half a dozen rehearsals (no gigs) so it's immaculate, just a couple of tiny dings in the top of the Headstock, which was there when I bought it, and a couple of tiny dings in the neck, which you can't see, but can feel when you run your finger over it. I've also fitted a brand new set of Tomastik flatwounds to it, No case as It didn't come with one. I'd be looking for £320 including uninsured postage. I am looking at getting a Sire V7 4 or 5 string jazz (preferably Gen2) so would entertain trades/part trades for one of those,or maybe a Squire CV P bass 😁
