Club Moollon

Yes, it has a "bygone era" look about it. I think that's the winner.


Tort looks great too.

FWIW, the wife and I deleted our Facebook accounts the 1st of this year. Couldn’t be happier!
 
roger in my opinion makes the best active fender clone, though a majority of the time a passive bass just sounds “right”. That being said a PJ 5 from Sadowsky is on my dream list.


Like Rogers pre-amp. To me it sounds like a passive bass run into a console with a tad of compression. It’s a great already processed bass tone applicable in many situations.
Also, REALLY like Chopper's/Alien Audio tweaked Mo West pre he uses in his basses. A little more subtle than Rogers. Sounds like a passive bass going into a Neve strip.
Lots of good choices out there.

For me, 90-95% of the time it’s a Moollon through a FatBoy DI and an Empress compressor.
 
Does anyone know the story behind the different types of tort? My 2012 era Jazz V has a distinctively different type of tort.

I’ve owned 2 older/brown guard JV’s and 2 newer/red guard ones.

Andi mentioned it was just availability. They liked the brown guards in that they seemed more aged/vintage. Then they were unavailable from they manufacturer. So, they found another manufacturer and they were only available in red.

Personally, I think the brown works on some colors like your burst etc. And the red fits some colors better like Oly White.

I’m sure Andi can add some clarity if I’m off base.
