It’s Sherwood Green Metallic, but can see where you’re seeing the Charcoal vibe. Yes it’s a US Custom Dual J, so a passive J setup with their 44-94 body and neck. This one is chambered for weight-saving, and also has a Series/Parallel switch. And yes, their own pickups as I agree, they’re great. It’s very similar to my US Custom 44-PJ which is elsewhere in this thread. Si

That was partly the plan 😁 Si

It’s ready! Shipping today apparently, so we’ll see if it arrives before Christmas 🤞 Si

No, I wouldn’t lol….but if I did, it would probably be MXR…or maybe Darkglass. Si

My pedal riser board currently: Schu-Tone Ramparts (Green Muffin w/mids) -> Mooer Envelope -> MXR Vintage Octave -> TC Corona Chorus -> TC PolyTune Mini 3 There’s room for another 1590a sized something above the two TC pedals, so I think that might have to be an MXR or Mooer micro power, as it’s all running on a daisychain at the mo, which I suspect the two digital pedals will eventually not agree with if I gig this setup. Si

The MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe is excellent, very versatile (including a Flanger option), and not overly expensive (sometimes sub-£100 used). Si

What’s the SFX Micro Energiser? Si

I’m not aware that MXR/Dunlop own their own production facilities, although even if they do, it’s not really likely that a company would dime their capabilities in order to fulfill backorders, they’ll ramp up production slowly so they can find a sweet-spot between supply and demand. You don’t want more stock than you need, especially on a niche product, because stopping and then starting (again) production is not a simple task. Si

Nice, love that gold 44-60. Si

Yes exactly, plenty of TC PolyTunes for £30-40 used. Si

Yeah DemonFX are pretty well-known for their borderline counterfeiting of well-known pedals. I wouldn’t touch them with a barge-pole, who knows what’s going on under the hood. Some people seems happy with them, but I’ve heard reports of noisy pedals and all sorts of crap-outs you’d expect of such things. YMMV. Si

Was trying out the Duality for the first time last night, needs some slight tweaking/dialing-in, but I think it’s a keeper. Really starting to get to grips with the FJBOD too, really cool tones different to what I get with the BB Pre. Si

Yeah I saw those numbers and it felt like a lot….thanks for doing the maths to make it feel even less likely haha Cheers Si

Did anyone ever explore this further? Legit? Si

Split your midi keyboard sounds, bass with your left hand, piano stabs with your right. Easy….right?! 😅 Si

TC Spectracomp for sale HERE - £45 BB Bass Preamp HERE - £ 110 Neither are mine, just signposting. £155 and done, and who knows, maybe the sellers will take a tiny bit less to get you in under £150….you can but ask. Si

Heya, I’ll primarily be using it for pop/synth type stuff, primarily coupled with Chorus and sometimes octave. On the odd occasion I use fuzz on its own, again, it’s more for a pop-type ‘produced’ sound….not doomy metal type Muff fuzz. Si

Sometimes I just use a low-gain overdrive into my bass. Si

Some of you will have seen that CMC Audio have today released their new Fuzz pedal, which integrates an envelope filter into the sound. I’ve had it for a little while now as I happened to get chatting to Christoph about fuzz pedals around the time this was around 90% developed. FWIW, I paid for mine, so this is not a marketing spin, I just wanted to start the conversation around it as I believe it deserves all the exposure it can get! I made a very quick video for Instagram this lunchtime haha, with a single tone: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPguOWSiO9J/?igsh=Z3pkcnk4c2V3NDk5 And I know Si Francis and a few others also put out vids, which I (or someone else) can post below. Cheers Si

Bi-Filter Fuzz! Winner!! Si

As someone who’s been there and done that (albeit not with a 3Leaf), if you’re really happy with your Doom, and not wanting for anything ‘more’….just stay as you are. Grass isn’t greener, I promise lol. Si

You would not QUITE be there if it was a Wordle 😂 Si
