Glad you’re on it. Knowing me, my batteries would die onstage and I don’t have a tech to rescue me. :)

Sure. I’ve never had a problem with a bass that is always supposed to be active. Originally, Fender just wasn’t clear enough about this and I wanted a bass that was usable in passive and active because I was worried about batteries running out.

I dunno. The test was very interesting but the cut seemed to take too much from the signal while the boost added too much. Maybe it was how you set the knobs, but the bass really seemed to need some balance. Somewhere in between the cut and the boost may be the best path, if that is possible...

My bass family: 2022 Fender Precision Mod Shop w/ 1962 Custom Shop pickups and the Jack Cassidy Epiphone Bass (probably made in China).

The Darkglass Vintage Microtubes may be your pedal. It gives you tones from across the spectrum (chronological basically) with the turn of one knob though there are four knobs total. It’s touch-sensitive and real simple to use. And if you ever want to take a deeper dive into modern metal tones...

I think the stickers look good. Kudos!

Fender P-Bass from the Mod Shop with rosewood fretboard and Custom Shop ‘62 pickups.

How is the XLR out on the Rocket Bass line? Has anyone used it for recording or performance?

Now Fender has renamed the bass to Active Meteora Bass on the company’s website: Invalid Link Removed

Hello, So what do you think? I recently acquired a Fender Mod P and would like to show it off. For me, the question is whether Mod and Custom deserve different clubs.

Just got a promo email from Fender and now they are talking about the “Active Meteora Bass” instead of the “Meteora Bass.” Guess the complaints about the lack of passive tone control are having an impact on them.

Sorry about that.

Walrus Audio has a 15% off sale during Memorial Day weekend, for what it's worth.

The overdrive is pretty rad sounding. I tend towards a warmer Stax/Volt tone but I like the Badwater's harder-they-come attack.
