You probably want a Studio something. It’s great.

I saw that.
I've actually been thinking of getting a Neve pre for the growing home studio, for vox and stuff. Anyone ever compare Broughton Studio One with an actual Neve preamp? (Basically, I want my vocals to sound as good as my bass does through my S1.) Is Neve gear really "all that" in the year 2021, or was he kind of like Leo Fender, that he had great ideas, but other companies have picked up those ideas and run with them?

I picked up a recording interface with a couple of Neve designed transformers built in recently, Steinberg UR-RT2. Curious to see how it sounds and how similar or different than the Studio One.

In other news, picked the Ricky up from the shop, and the new shielding, new harness and pots, and setups have her sounding better than she ever had!
Those interfaces do look pretty cool I know this isn’t really the forum please let us know what you think… I’m curious.

It’s still all that. It’s the studio one / boost. That goodness that you miss when you turn it off but never realized it was on.
Seymour Duncan’s.
Swapped out the originals around the time I rattle canned it, and later gave them away with a newer late 90’s Rickenbacker that I’d purchased with after market pickups and sold later.
Looking back I didn’t sell the bass for much more than I’d pay for just those OG pickups now, and I threw them in for free... Face Palm.
The Seymours do sound pretty good though.

As do I but there is no box on earth that will do that.
I've read your review (several times) of the FT vs the Slampegg versions, and based on my current experience with the FT, it's only made me feel more excited to get the Slampegg! I really like what the FT is doing to my tone, so if the Slampegg is better then I'm giddy. The problem for me comes in the law of diminishing returns. Yes, things can sound better, but at what cost, and is it THAT much better? I also know I am an uncultured swine with amateur's ears and skill, so I'm unlikely to pick out some detail that others will. That said, I like what I like and have expensive tastes (or so says the Mrs).
Pardon any previous snarky comments. I'm happy for your P15 epiphany and hope GAS stays in remission. May we all be as lucky.

Happily trending in my own peculiar direction.
Neve gear is "all that" for sure. He continued to innovate ALWAYS just as Leo did, so there is that similarity. The Portico series stuff is absolutely mind blowing...the most musical EQ and compression I have used/heard...so much fun dialing things in with them. If you like the Studio One, you will want a 1073 of some sort, whether Neve or a clone.I saw that.

I’ve ordered a P15! I was already eyeballing one for over a year, but i always was too late when i checked the website.
Now yesterday my old REDDI crapped out on me during souncheck of a radio gig and while the soundcrew where getting me one of their cheapo house DI’s, I’ve ordered a P15 on my phone right then and there. Very much looking forward!
I’m assuming the handle is removable though, right?

Everything is removable with the right tools...
