That photon looks awesome, has octave up and a Gate with clean blend, possibly the ultimate fuzz. I've the FEA optifet comp and it's one of the best made pedals ive had.

I did a little side by side when I briefly had both. The Red Ripper can get close to The Prunes sound, but the prunes is wilder and squelchier (for want of a better term) it is far more synthy. The Red Ripper can do a whole lot more as it can cop big muff sounds as well as sounding like a brassmaster, it's all to do with the RIP control. I sold the prunes to get a 5 string Yamaha, then bought the red ripper, and once again sold it to get other things. I did compare with some fuzz/filter settings on the C4 which were close enough to make selling them easier. I do wish I had the disposable income to just keep things 😂

Yes it has a 70s jazz style width, but when it says meat in the hand, it's very true, as it's quite thick. I was under the impression it was modelled on a briefly made profile in 71 called B. A C profile to me is much shallower like the 60's P bass necks. Ultimately everybody talking about this profile or measurement, isn't a substitute for actually trying one. These things are So subjective.

Yeah my babies!! Very pleased with the BB350F. And the amazing Mr Travis is fitting an upgraded BB1025/P35 vintage plus bridge to the 425 😍

I'd say your spot on there

😂😂 but he was sufficiently "cheesy sinister" which was a staple of 80's B movie baddies. Id read that Gene was so busy chasing an acting career at the time, he had very little to do with the writing/playing on the "Animalize" album (or was it Asylum, cue Cetera) making it pretty much a Paul Stanley record I know Paul Stanly isn't the singer he used to be, but at least he was an incredible singer (unlike Mr Roth, whom I also love) but Kiss are still getting out there and putting on a fantastic show. I believe a lot of vids were going about of Paul when he was poorly and looked/sounded awful. You've got to wonder whether sometimes the ethos of "The show must go on" is the right thing to do.

Lol, it'll be a puppet show next!! 😂

I love this! A perfect "What if" story 😂

Ahh not much more than an MXR BEF, but much cheaper than a 3 leaf proton.

The Fender Nate Mendel It has a slimmer neck/thinner nut But still is quite fat and deep at the back. I believe it was known as a "B" Profile, a lot of people love it, but I wasn't keen.

I'm now waiting for NJE to start an Octave and Chorus thread 😁

That looks really cool! Almost a Mutron "light" I'd miss the downsweep though. Will still be an expensive piece of kit though.

Lovely Basses Mick! I look forward to the patter of tiny strings 😂

Lol!! I know mate, you're right. I'm really surprised I've not picked one up. I've a couple of mates,that have had one and they sounded fantastic.

Yeah a very dirty filter, no downsweep, but sounds great in demos. Definately on my want list.

Lovely board! The Diamond is a great comp and I loved the Boss Bass flanger 😁
