Cool bass. Looks like if a Spector and the Lochness monster had a baby.

So I don't get to keep this forever, but my friend from work is letting me borrow his old Tom Martinson bass for a bit while he settles in with his new bass. I like my basses, but I like other people's basses too.

That's what I would figure a Turquoise "Tort" pattern PG would look like - gorgeous!

According to the Tom Martinson website, that model is called the "Nessie."

I feel like this is one of those "if you have to ask, you already know the answer" things, but are these controls too close together?

Looks fine, to me. It would be too close with larger diameter knobs.

It definitely looks as though flipping a toggle would be difficult without simultaneously turning a knob….so suboptimal.

Yeah I can do it if I'm careful, but I also have little fingers. I could easily foresee accidental knob turns when flipping switches and accidental switch flips when turning knobs.

i think that they are.

Knobs could be fine but my fat fingers may not even get in to those switches. Maybe above and below the knobs? Or both above or both below? Depends on their function as to what position makes the most sense.

i would prefer them like this if at all possible:

 

[warptheory]

Are push buttons an option? Might be a decent compromise.

 

[RevOgre]

Agree with Mr. @johnk_10

 

[Mr_BK]

Seems narrow indeed. My fat fingers wouldn't approve.

But there are pedals that have little switches everywhere in positions even more claustrophobic.

 

[dangobass]

Haha, yeah I have a becos pedal and those switches between the knobs are so hard to flip. I’m with Johnk as well.

 

[johnk_10]

i'd prefer the knobs to be spaced a little further apart too.

Btw, I was starting to daydream about a tube based tuner after a comment someone made. When engaged it mutes and it’s a tuner, when disengaged it’s a tone enhancer…that doesn’t look like a tuner pedal at first glance.

or does it(?)…a tuner with a gain, more gain, extra gain and face melt gain knob? Throw in some extra add on gain switches and you’ve got a pedal going.

Crappy quick edit on phone but you get the idea.

Yeah I made the joke about it but then I started actually thinking and damn that would be sweet. I'm imagining a Boss tuner with a tube buffer (like the vampire slayer)

Add a DI out option and that’s pretty much my entire pedalboard for electric bass 99% of the time.
