Really cool video, I love hearing knowledgable people passionately nerd out about stuff like this. I also love Sunn O))) so hearing the stories and differences between these amps is really cool. I would've loved the chance to hear them all individually but this would be a long video if they...

It’s not titanium but the Obstructures Model 34 actually has a semi-hollow neck with a bolt-on fretboard. Here are some pictures where you can see the construction detail, which is pretty divisive aesthetically but I think quite clever. Id love to know in particular how thick the neck walls need...

I like the look of that finish, good stuff. Millimetric Instruments also does a lot of their finishes using milk paint, and I think it suits their designs really well, as well as being pretty environmentally friendly.

Definitely a very personal choice but I would encourage you to decide on the feel you'd like and purchase strings for that, rather than sound. I tend to like fairly low tension and I'm used to it since I play exclusively in DGCF tuning. Labella flats are probably the most trad choice in feel...

Awesome bass indeed and I'm sorry for the threadjack here, but hold on a sec - Let's talk about that wall of Serge! That is an insane synth setup you have, got any recordings and info to share about that colossus!?

Yeah, the more I look at this pedal the feature density becomes more and more desirable. I will use this pedal at least at much with experimental-ambient-focused modular synth and guitar as with my bass, so all the esoteric stuff it does is of great interest. All of them really, as I will use...

So I'm considering buying a Clean after getting a little bit of buyers remorse with the Cali76 bass I just bought. That pedal is awesome, everything people say it is, but I keep thinking now that for essentially the same price the Clean is a far better value. I also have a dual use pedalboard...

This is my current gig rig with my number one bass right now, a 1989 Greco TB-75. Initially it started life with a black finish, but was restored, refinished in this nice metallic copper/pink, and subtly reliced by a talented Polish luthier in early 2024. This was not really my #1 bass when I...

Coming: Cali76 bass I've been a big proponent of the Fairfield Accountant, having used one as my sole compressor for nearly six years now, but at long last, I am finally running up against a few limitations of that angry little beast. I now find myself wanting a slightly more versatile option...

Major thank you for actually following up and doing a thorough comparison!

Totally agree on these, it is surprising how much drive and saturation can be hidden on a bass tone before it becomes obvious distortion. So yeah, I have dirt pedals that I use as a light saturator and secondary compression stage, and then others that are less subtle. Stacking dirt pedals is a...

Here's a good video of how the Grecos generally sound, mine sounds particularly similar to the white one:

Greco all day for me! Early this year I picked up a killer late 80's Greco TB-75. I've played several other Greco TBs before and they were all very high quality - if I'd had the budget at the time I definitely would've purchased one long before now. Which Epiphone model do you have currently? I...

if you do end up getting one I'd be curious to hear the differences between these two, particularly the difference in the neck profiles. I loved the neck on the JMJ I had, which I stupidly sold and now miss

It’s hard to be 100% correct when blindly guessing, but that sounds very RAT-like to me - I know I can get very near that tone with my Tremond
