Was there some connection that developed with Honey Badger Pickups? I may be confusing this with a bass builder that worked with both for a while. Too many other important things to keep in the memory.
I don't know. I emailed Steve last year because I heard he was shutting down and I was looking into building pickups. Cool as it would be, I don't have time for it.
 
I'm not a 5-string player, but this is one 5'r I'd totally rock - JW Corral - "Jimmy Wallace", the brand of Mr. Jimmy Wallace, the organizer of the Dallas Guitar Show, America's largest trade show, and a well-known guitarist and vintage guitar collector. I think he called it 'Corral' because the body shape is pretty much the same as the early '60s Dano Dane/late '60s Coral Deluxe bass. It's a bit pricy or I'd be all over it. Besides, I could always make my own!

Expecting an new one of these Thurs. Clicked "watch" on a Reverb listing and the seller that I've bought strings from before sent me an offer of $203 (from $239). Seems like it does mild breakup and pushing of a tube amp really well. We'll see... Minus a regular guitar right now I'm hoping this might add a little texture to fill in a bit.

From Bass Gear Mag:
Jeff Genzler has been a very busy guy. After arguably one of the worst years for the usage of – and thus desire for, ostensibly – products that communicate an electric musician’s musings to large groups of people in a live setting since music became amplified, Genzler Amplification came out swinging in 2021 with the release of not only a brand-new series of bass speaker cabinets and a new amp channel-switching pedal, but also a first for the company: a uniquely designed and fully-featured effect pedal. As an interesting and fun note, the project was the fruit of a professional reuniting of Jeff Genzler and Andy Field (TB member!); the latter being the principal engineer during the Genz-Benz days, having since moved on to designing for MESA/Boogie®.

The 4 ON THE FLOOR™ Classic Bass Overdrive is clearly marketed as an (all-analog, true-bypass) overdrive pedal, but I’ve found it can be used in so many ways as to want for a broader category of description.
Genzler Amplification: 4 ON THE FLOOR Classic Bass Overdrive

That looks promising!
