Loads of things have this California warning. Next they'll be telling you not to fire bottle rockets out yer arse. California. The Nanny State. 😉

Mmmmm lurverly!

Ooh that reminds me of my first proper bass, an Attitude Special. There's a super sexy SBV800MF (for Mutha flipa! 😄) on there in a metallic blue/green. It looks amazing but it's nearly £2.4k delivered, before any import fees get slapped on top.

No, just ignore me for I am a tit.😁 There's a few but they're all in Japan. The SB1200s is £1200.

I've got a feeling I've seen another Super Bass on ebay.

This is possibly the most important piece of advice.

Which achieves what? That's not meant to sound as abrupt as it does. I'm genuinely interested in what this does to the sound. 🙂

Looks like he playing in the pocket.

I suppose I've had three sig basses over the years but have always found the concept a bit daft, until about a fortnight ago 😉. I wouldn't necessarily buy a bass because of the link to a certain player, but strangely it would put me off buying one if I didn't like the player/band. I'll happily buy a sig just because I like the bass though, above clause dependent. My first real bass, after a plywood SG, was a Yamaha Attitude Special. The bloke in Mansons told me it was based on the proper Attitudes that Billy Sheehan uses, Billy who? I'd never heard of Billy Sheehan but the bass was the coolest thing I'd ever seen and came home with me. Second, many years later is a Epiphone Jack Casady. They'd always been on my radar as a bass to try but I was just never 100% sold on the looks, then they brought out the faded Pelham Blue with a stained wood back. Oh my! Then the one that changed my view on sigs. The Yamaha BBPH (Peter Hook). Even when they came out in very limited numbers I was still telling myself not to be so stupid. Then one came up at a decent price s/h and I couldn't help myself, being a huge Joy Division/New Order fan. Sure I could've just picked up a BB1200s but I actually wanted what Hooky uses now, and I'm so glad I did, they are wonderful basses. I've since bought an EHX Bass Clone (better than a Clone Theory IMO) and have spent many a happy hour just being Hooky. Yes it's sad, and no I don't care! 😄 All three of these are, in my view, different enough from a standard or close variant to warrant being viewed as being a totally different bass.

I've just bought a couple of yards of brown material and a length of rope... ... but I won't be making a habit out of it either. 😐

Best hope Flea keeps his undercrackers on then. 😁

It's properly nailed his tone. I know he used a Clone Theory but I liked the idea of the Bass Clone and it's 99% the same tone. I like that the x over switch takes the bottom end out of the effects so it stays solid and punchy, not all swampy. The bass and treble then act as boost and cut to how much bass and treble gets affected. Kind of like a dry bottom end and wet top end, rather than all the same. It works well.

This little box of fun arrived today. I such a sad silly billy! 😄

To be fair, back in the 80s/early 90s his basses must've taken hell of a beating.
