I bought the OC-2 (an old MIJ, as it turns out) and a Behringer Blues O/D pedal together for £35 from a local farcebook marketplace page... sold the Behringer on fleabay for £32...

Hold the Line - Toto

The only bass-related things I've bought this year are parts for two builds -- my 2-tone J bass and Mammoth clone stomp. And there's the Boss OC-2 that ended up costing me £3. Oh, and my wonderful daughter gave me an Amazon voucher for my birthday, which I used to buy an excellent Hercules bass stand. That is by far my best bass purchase of 2020 for a number of reasons.

To actually review a piece of music, rather than just vent their spleen on how much they hate the artist(s) responsible.

Cuddly Toy - Roachford

A13: Trunk Road to the Sea - Billy Bragg

Swords of a Thousand Men - Tenpole Tudor

A Day In The Life - obscure Scouse beat combo

Cowboys & Indians - Nik Kershaw

Cupid's Dead - Extreme

May I just say that @CookPassBabtridge is definitely one of the great usernames of all time. Right up there with @Jean-Luc Pickguard IMO.

Oh yes, I remember that sort of thing. I recall seeing a 'review' of It Bites' magnificent Once Around The World album in one of those poxy rags; they hated the band and all it stood for, that much was obvious, and one of the very few things they actually said about the actual music on the actual album they were supposedly writing about was to say that the title track had a reasonable trumpet solo on it. 45 seconds out of a brilliant hour of music and they couldn't even be arrsed to listen closely enough to realise that it was a synth patch rather than a trumpet.

..?

I really really hope it is, even if only a bit. My son is getting married on 22nd April and we're playing at their evening party...

Nnnnnnnice 😎 What's the build second from left? Looks stereo?

Now up to version 2.1 of the PLPB. Having A/B tested the real OC-2 with the octave models on the Zoom, I decided that the Zoom would easily be good enough for live work -- so I've retired the Boss and replaced it with my latest build, a Woolly Mammoth clone. For my money the Mammoth is the best bass fuzz bar none, and it's one thing the Zoom doesn't do.

Rocks, Pebbles and Sand - Stanley Clarke

Blimey, mine's a far less professional looking product than either of those, but anyway... here's a Mammoth clone I've just made for my pedalboard (so no battery in this one). Based on the Fuzzdog 'Fat Furry Freak' PCB, I had most of the parts already in my spares box, so this one only cost me about £12 or so in new bits & pieces. Sounds amazing, really pleased with it. The brown dot on his trunk is a flush-mounted amber LED under the decal. I made a bigger one in a BB box earlier in the year; that was 'Heffalump', which is why this B-sized one is Junior EDIT: just to ease anyone's OCD... the knobs do all line up, they just weren't all zeroed for the photo.
