Actually used the full moon with guitar yesterday. It’s friggin class but I don’t really play guitar anymore. The eq means you can get heaps of great tones from grungy/drop d, chug and I nailed a great ‘Angel of Death’ sound!
Look forward to reading your opinions. One has come up locally but I’m not in a position to pounce until some pedals shift. This one has dual signal pathways right?
Do try it with round wounds - It's a very versatile little bass (well as versatile as a P bass but you know what I mean). I punks up nicely with those rounds!
I like it but not in the market for a new bass. Look forward to hearing some sound demos and which of the switching options they’ve gone for I.e like the D roc or some other alternative.
Uh-huh. It’s very impressive. and don’t start me on the new fender pick ups. No bass versions yet but the CuNiFe guitar pick ups sound great. Patiently awaiting the bass iterations. Tim Shaw doing fine work!!
Just putting this out here.
Sounds class on the few demos I’ve heard. A contender for bass?
610 preamp and an 1176 style comp + LA2A with options for both. It’s making me feel sweaty for my comp🥵😬😥
It’s difficult to underestimate the added oomph a transformer based pedal can add to the overall sound of you bass tone. I’ve two LBA 2020s passive transformer pedals and the difference is marked and I’ve found this with a few other units too.
If it’s only for recording would a plug in or dirt on another track which could be blended be a work around rather than doing it all in your signal chain? The beauty of recording is the flexibility it offers. Might be a faff but if your taking a clean di and your pedal board sound in theory it should be a simple enough.
The other suggestion might be adding in a loop or blend and you can introduce the dirt where it works best. I have a cab sim pedal At the end of my chain and run my main dirt after the preamp and into that before hitting the desk as it makes the drive sound more pleasing. My always on dirt is in the fx loop of the Basswitch so that helps with signal chain and routing. Adding in another loop/blend might not be what you’re after but it could solve the problem?
Don’t think it’s that kinda unit and most of us have DI options these days. I have three pedals with di’s on my board just now and don’t really need all three. Might take a punt on the mkV if some other stuff shifts.
