I'm about 2000 practice hours from achieving the double thumb meself ๐ but we do realise there's a lot of hate out there for this noble technique? ๐
It doesn't matter what you say, you will be getting at least one drive pedal.
You can say you were pressured into it if you like.
Like having your ear pierced.
Bad News? Weren't they the Spinal-tappy band from The Comic Strip Presents? With Rick Mayall etc...
Yes they was:

I've had the same thing with two basses that should have the same output but don't.
It's a PITA.
Cheapest way is to probably use a drive pedal or something as a pre-amp.

I reckon Hendrix is (was) my #1 guitar player who was equally amazing on the bass, for his lines on his cover of 'watchtower'... plenty of notes in there, and all of them good IMHO. ๐
