I heard that Markbass employed Mr Magoo to design the aesthetics of their range

Nope That’s the biggest porky of the day Next you’ll be telling me I don’t have a face for radio

Thanks for the invite, if passing and in the area will do, with some notice of course for yourselves, but in all likelihood I am not sure what it will achieve for me personally as I may still prefer another sound as you say, but feel free to do a shout out between other amps with drive channels and maybe the ABM as suggested with a dedicated drive pedal - would be good to hear the results. Make sure its a distinctly average player like me doing the playing though, or everything will sound good, and that's unhelpful

Nonsense to suggest another amp has a better drive channel at a similar or different price point?

I think what he is saying is that there are a few very good amps on the market with a dedicated drive channel that surpasses what the GZR amp does at a similar or better price point, allied to the fact that if one buys a dedicated clean or power amp plus a fuzz pedal a sound of at least parity or better can be achieved

Bought some pick ups, solid and very quick deal. Nice chap to boot Smooth transaction

Your getting old.....

Give it the full beans, hope you can pull it off

Please say that is not a euphemism or the new auto correct

Gigging days were long gone, not so long ago - go on son, go balls deep!

Take the pressure off and offer to do full lead vocals too, piece of pizz....

Congrats on that. Tech21 are a monster company with real quality throughout the line, this and the Power Deuce Deluxe are very good all in one solutions

KMA Audio marines offer a 7 or 14 day no quibble return on their pedals unless you have battered it So you could try it - you’ll have to pay postage back

@Baceface Oh and so far as switches, pots, capacitors, knobs etc. go, there are a whole heap out there, that can give you what you need, even without going active not requiring any additional hole drilling in the bass, all with a simple solder, which is fun in itself

One mans punch is another mans nut kick, pick ups will change voices depending on magnets, orientation of magnets, wiring, potting etc. Regardless whether your bass has an on board EQ however many bands, or just a tone knob, that can shape a sound nicely in addition to whatever you go through to amplify be it a combo/amp/desk or combination. As you said, it’s not a worry or a huge problem, but if they are powerful like you say, at some point in your signal chain there will be some gain to fiddle with. Get you bass volume knob at a level you like, louder can sound too pushed, and then the same with your tone and know how they interact to suit you and another instruments you may play with. You can then dial in or turn down the gain to match the volume level required and bingo, you are away with a very simple set up. You may of course like other things in your chain to bring out the basses inherent tones as you play, but the principle in that respect remains the same. Enjoy

There is your answer - maybe the odd toast crumb or marmalade from our man dropped into the circuit and needs cleaning.

Couldn’t agree more

Long summer nights need synth to float through the airwaves

Looks nice that. I heard it in the flesh - sounds good too

Oops not quite - they were the Creamery ‘58’s but I am sure knowing Bareknuckle quality it will be just as good. Really nice tone to mine anyway which suits my liking of a P

To add to that - early TSBS’s used Seymour Duncan’s, now they use Black labels

Cheers for that - 1 or 2 there methinks......love that pickguard
