    Anyone here own a Pearce BC1 preamp?

    $300 is a steal for a Pearce in working order.

    Jad Freer Capo Effects Loops

    After a few years of pining, I finally snagged a Capo and it’s great. That being said, I don’t quite understand how the affects loops work in the context of a pedal. Like, if I put my octaver in the pre-loop, how is that different than just having the octave pedal before the Capo?

    Hey, anyone from the "Does anyone not enjoy Jaco" thread

    Nothing to apologize for, everyone has different tastes and opinions. Sacred cows make the best steaks.

    Does anyone not enjoy Jaco?

    He was the man and a fantastic symbol of the possibilities of our instrument. I've bought all the books, all the DVDs, I've even got that old Squier VM that was obviously a poor man's Jaco tribute. As far as actually listening to his music very often in 2024? Nope. Almost never.

    Is it really Paul playing bass on Here Comes the Sun?

    Past 66 that didn't really matter, because it was all in the studio.

    Can't find a compressor I like

    Maybe you don't need one?

    Ever had a bass sold out from under you?

    Boy, some of ya'll should chalk things up to Hanlon's razor and move on.

    The $399 Joe Dart Bass by SBMM

    So because you personally are not tuned into them, they must not be popular? I don't know how often there will be some musician/act I haven't heard of and I look them up and they end up being like the 11th most streamed artist in the world. Granted, Vulf isn't *that* huge, but they seem to...

    The $399 Joe Dart Bass by SBMM

    Still flats, but I switched to TI's. I like the sound of the Cobalts, but wasn't crazy about the feel.

    The $399 Joe Dart Bass by SBMM

    I've got the real deal USA version, but at that price point I'm still tempted, even if just to see how it compares.

    Do You Own a Fretless But Not Play It Much?

    Yeah, I have one of those Squier VM Jaco looking basses from about 15 years or so ago. I'll pick it up for a few weeks a few times a year and tell myself I'm going to get really into fretless, but it never sticks. It's fun to kick on the octaver and get my poor man's Pino on now and again.

    Reverse engineering vintage Haz Labs pre

    TBH, all the technical jargon is way over my head, but I replaced the Tonepump in my Wimbish with an LHZ and it was a game changer. It really sounds fantastic.

    Another "Artist" derailed by fake music meltdown

    I dunno; it's a lot bigger stage than any of us have ever bombed on, and she's playing it again this weekend. Shrug....
