Playing those tracks up and down the motorway has been a joy, and listening into them at home has been a real education in bass playing. Have they inspired you to take up the tuba though?

Herbie. As would I. The 'fuzz circuit' surely wasn't factory original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that it's a clipping diode passive fuzz circuit like some Gibson EB0s had in that period. Maybe Fender tried it out too? Total guesstimate!

Agent 00Soul Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 My discovery of who Herbie was and appreciation of his bass chops and sound initially came from all that fabulous library music he made in the 60s and 70s, especially the stuff with Alan Hawkshaw. Back in the 1990s, those songs actually became trendy dance music too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
