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!
