Yes! I remember hearing ZZ Top's greatest hits on a road trip with my family and loving them as a child. Later on my dad got the 6 Pack set and that was in heavy rotation too. I got to see them live in '96 at the Greek Theater in LA with George Thorogood as an opener, was a great show - lots...

Rad, wasn't expecting anyone to reply, let alone this quickly, thx for the info!

Trying to find this out too, will report back if I find the answer.

Well none of the physical stores seem to carry them so that's not helping, I've been looking to try one out but I don't want to drive 2 hours to do so. Online it doesn't seem like they got much promo and there aren't that many good demos of it, Fender's demo is probably one of the worst as per...

Heads up, Fractal's bass update is available as beta firmware on the FM9 now, just installed and I'm off to play with the new goodies! https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/fm9-firmware-version-11-0-public-beta.216883/post-2727700 NEW FEATURES & UPDATES IMPROVED AMP MODELING ● Improved Preamp...

Yes, that's Martyn LeNoble on most of Good God's Urge IIRC...I just learned Tahitian Moon, so gorgeous! Wondering what setup he used to get the smooth but driven sounding fuzz? Gotta be his G & L 2000 on the recording with that active tone, but which pedal and dry / wet setup to get that...

Pretty sure that Martyn LeNoble was on bass for that one and Mike Watt only did replacement bass on 1 or 2 tracks on the rest of the album, like Good Gods Urge.

Tiny Music! Such a great vibe and groovy feel on that album. I've been learning Big Bang Baby and it's an absolute workout, especially the way that Robert plays it which none of the YT covers have right. (Maybe they aren't as pedantic as me going through live footage at quarter speed for...

The Olympic Pearl PJ on Sweetwater right now is 9.7 pounds, so they are looking to be on the heavier side, unfortunately the tempting open box model is approaching 10 pounds 😟

Yikes, fortunately I'm eyeing the PJ since I already have a Player II Jazz Bass 😅

Anyone seen these in stores yet?

One of my all time fav tracks, his bass playing is so tasteful and has just the right amount of embellishments, and that slap breakdown rules!

The lines Robert Plays are upright esque so it makes sense, he doesn't follow typical fingering as far as I can tell (coming from a guitar background) so it makes sense to me and it looks cool AF.

It seems like hardly any stores are stocking these (PJ version at least) and I was looking to play one. My backup plan is to go play the normal P-bass to make sure the wider neck isn't a deal breaker since I'm coming from a Player II Jazz Bass. Can anyone comment on how these are coming from a...

I'm new to bass amps and I'm trying to emulate the gritty and punchy Robert DeLeo sound on my Fractal FM9 MKII Turbo (aside from playing very hard with low action, what a beast!). I've read that his tone on the Core album was a pushed Ampeg, possibly split with a DI? "That record was just an SVT...
