i think it might be worth looking into the team awesome fuzz machine. from memory, it has an octave component, clean control, decent eq, gate, shape and fuzz control.

The dude has several fun ones. This is a bit more funky and might be my favorite of his posts so far.
Far from ambient.
I do need to look into the bass builder. That thing is insanely cool.

I looked at his videos page on YouTube. Looks like he has a couple by this builder. His notes indicate it’s a Swiss Cortex bass. Beautiful instrument.

No , really I've got tiny feet. Some people tease me and wonder how I can stand and not fall forward constantly.

Weird because smurfs have quite large feet for their size, so I thought you meant you needed large shoes.

Googled "smurf feet" and the internet delivered

I'm about 5 '9 (with hair grown out....)
And wear 7 1/2 size shoes.

Buying shoes is hell for me.

Yet I skate really big large skateboards.

you googled “smurf feet” didn’t you?

So after reading this, and the later exchanges, I am wondering how much difficulty wearing a bass must give you. Seems like that would make you even more prone to vertical issues.

I’m now rewatching Robocop while I program midi arpeggios. I’m blaming this thread.

Can you fly, Bobby?

I add a special belt with weights tied to the back.
Broke my nose a few times playing boring top 40 gigs.

Why did I never connect the dots that Clarence is Red Foreman?!

And how did a funk rock band adopt the name TJ Lazer?! It really should be a chip tune or synth wave band.
