Nothing better than an offset, rat, and a vox. Is that a build, refin vintage or a CFM American original JM w/spitfire?

Thanks! Thats a real 65. Refin was done by Ben (workoffire) . It is the the "plays like butter" Jazzmaster

It was butchered and painted purple by one of the previous owners. I really love it

Ahh man, I'd love that setup. Those Dirty Mac pedals sound like cool treble boosters. I usually use my TBs before fuzzes, how does it sound after the Muff?

I'm normally a "boost before fuzz" kinda guy, because I like the way you can change the texture of a fuzz by pushing it without altering its loudness. The Mac is new, though, and I got it in my head to try it in the "more traditional" way - the Dallas Rangemaster was, after all, an amp-top box - and I'm not saying I'm a convert but I definitely see the appeal. It definitely cuts a lot of the lows of the Muff which, in turn, changes it from a very "mid scooped" sound to a very forward thing... it changes the character, but doesn't really change the heart of it, if that makes sense...

I'm hyped to try it with either the Hiwatt or OR this weekend...

Musicmaster Bass into Musicmaster Bass with no Effects at all. The Body of the Instrument is actually Daphne Blue. Very greened out Daphne Blue from the mid to late 70's. An Ebay score from a couple of years ago (it had some ugly silver signature from someone on the front

, I managed to clean that all off

). My late 70's MM Bass had a refinished body so I swapped bodies a while back and I think it's a perfect match.

The matching wood thumb rest is everything

thanks. Yes, same shade of brown as the fretboard

I like it too. It turned out great and it's just a generic eBay aftermarket item.

Played some bass the other day, partially to try out some newer pedals, partially just because I haven't played any bass since the move.

[Custom Jag bass] > BOSS OC-5 > EHX Attack Decay > EQD Plumes > BOSS DD-8 > Darkglass Vintage Ultra > [Amp/Headphones]

Tried out my new BOSS OC-5 on the bass, thinking I'd prefer it to the FoxRox Octron 3, but I didn't, which is just fine with me. No need to sell or buy anything there. The Octron has more of a mid-focus that cuts through a lot better on bass (with my setup), although I will say that I was playing with headphones on, instead of the bass amp speaker, so that might be something to consider (don't want to sway anyone away from the OC-5 as it SLAYS).

Still deciding what to do for reverb on my bass board. And a compressor. I've got an EQD The Warden, but it's not doing much for me on bass. I thought I'd swap the compressor on my guitar board (Greer Amps Lamplighter) for The Warden, but I love the sound of the Lamplighter too much for guitar.

The BOSS DD-8 is new on my bass board too. I played it on guitar when I first got it a couple months ago just to make sure it works, but this was the first time I'd played it with bass. Perfect delay for bass in my opinion. I also won't need a separate looper with the 40-second looper. That does mean that I won't be able to loop anything with delay, BUT I've been considering an EQD Dispatch Master for my reverb sound, and to use for a second delay to layer them, so I could use that delay with the DD-8 acting as looper if I wanted to if I get one.
