Way Huge Pork & Pickle.

My favorite this year has been the Trickfish VCA Comp.

I’d price em out individually, add it all up and maybe discount it a bit to seem like a deal.

I’m curious about the compressor portion of the pedal. Is it one of the models from the hyper luminal or something new?

The Pork & Pickle is the best in my opinion. With the tone shaping on the blend you can dial in your standard muff sounds and eq the blend for definition, or dial in a thin garage rasp and eq the blend for bottom only. And THEN you get a really good overdrive too. It’s a genius pedal that...

Sometimes size and convenience wins and it’s good to have options. I love my GK MB500/neo 212 setup for times where convenience matters. That said, I gig my big tube amp and one of my 3 big cabs (none of which weigh under 100 lbs) whenever I can.

I have two, a Mesa/Boogie Bass 400+, and a Gallien-Krueger MB500.

Current iteration. Rate or roast!

Funny, I remember an ancient pre internet time when 70s ash fenders and pancake body Les Pauls were considered undesirable because they were relative boat anchors.

The E string on my slot head eb-3l is noticeably weaker with the neck pickup solo. Mixing in the bridge helps it a bit. A compressor helps too, but you have to dial in a lot of squish to even out string volumes. It’s a common issue with the old sidewinders since the magnetic field is fairly...

Parchment is my favorite shade of off-white for a pickguard.

The American pros are great. I didn’t like the v-mod pickup at all, but after I swapped in a lollar my 2017 became my go to. Its fairly light yet balances well, has a nice neck profile with tall frets, better tuners/bridge than my 2001 MIA P (not that the hardware on that one has ever given me...

My favorite is my Darkglass Vintage Ultra. Killer overdrive and boost/eq/di all in one box.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, anything less than precision craftsmanship by solid gold robots working within tolerances of +/- .0005” will stifle the virtuosity of my eighth note roots.

My most played bass is a P with Flats, I also have a P with rounds for when I need that zing. This is the way.
