At that price, I can probably get Yo Ma-ma to come to my house!
I'm very sorry Garp but you really left me no choice.
You can. Y'see, they have this nifty string-based UI...
A bolt-on Rickenbacker bass made in the USA for $999.00 with a hardshell case.
I wish Peavey made a class-D version of their Trace Elliot AH600-12 head (but keeping the tube pre). Smaller, lighter, maybe scale back the graphic EQ like Darkglass has done on their Microtubes amps. I haven't found an amp I like better than the AH600-12 but it's delicate and now, in the world of class-D, too big and heavy.
It's funny because I agree with you but my Music Man 5 seems to need a truss bar adjustment more often then my other instruments. Causation?
Great! I’m with ya!!!fixed that for ya!
And that would be a Model 3000 re-issue!!
Something I just thought of yesterday, watching a few pedal reviews. Bassists have to be careful with pedal effects, because you don't want to mess with your fundamental bass frequencies too much. Full-range distortion changes your mix to emphasize treble, other overdrives can chop off the low end completely (expecting a guitar that the pedal then shoehorns into the full mix), and pitch modulation (chorus/vibrato), even at very subtle settings, can push you out of tune.
The usual fix for the "bass version" of an effect is either a dry blend or, for effects like chorus where the effect is already a wet-dry mix, an HPF feeding the effect with a full-range dry signal. This allows you to bring back some low end, or keep the effect from messing with your lowest frequencies in the first place.
So, here's the idea; why not put those controls into a loop pedal? Put the effect(s) you like the character of, but don't like the effect on the low end, into the loop of this pedal. Now in addition to the new pedal being a loop switcher controlling the basic on-off of the looped effects, you can either blend some dry signal back in, or HPF the signal sent to the loop, or both. Now any pedal can be a "bass" pedal, imparting its color to your tone while giving you the tools to keep the root pure. Throw in a buffer/TB switch for the pedal's own switching and I bet you'd have an audience.

Once Elon Musk gets the brain chip approved by the FDA, you’ll be able to sound like whoever youd like!
I’ve just never owned a lefty guitar or bass where the tone knob doesn’t act as an on/off switch. There’s no option for just a little bit of tone rolled off, etc. I’ve read that it’s because most manufacturers use righty ones wired backwards, but I’m not sure.
Yeah, but no one tells you why it was a failure. Reason is that it was actually so good, that guitarists stopped buying new guitars when there old ones went out of tune.
Which is also the reason that they went bankrupt.

i hope this never becomes a reality because nothing will stop companies from injecting advertisements directly into our brains 24-7. Yes consider this thread completely derailed.. Your welcome.
there is an old, very cool Australian Book called “The Magic Pudding”. You (and I) need that.
I have been waiting for someone to make an “every-tone” bass sort of like amps with classic amp settings. I doubt I’d like it because I don’t really like that digital sound but I imagine it’d have an emulator preamp system and a rotary switch, P, J, Alembic 1&2, Wal, Fodera...
Will say though, love my SansAmp BDDI so perhaps after an evolution someone might nail it well enough that it does what’s advertised.

Yes, I hate the 1-2 1-2-3-4 count. Amateur hour. It's like the 1-2 is to get your attention that we're counting in, which should not be necessary.
I used to chide my husband for counting that way but then I noticed the drummer in my band counted in that way often, as well, and he's very experienced. It annoys me but I guess I'll choose my battles.
