lol. I had a long chat with Don at StellarTone. Lots of good info. That setup is going to be the exact setup on my new mini bass with one additional feature the ability to turn the tone strength so I have 10 tone clicks the each one can be dial up the strength. Cool.
This is my new mini ( 22”-24”) and the standard scale 5 string

I just think it’s cool that they made a more resonant filter for the tone pot

They did the trick, helped to to appreciate the good things in life. And a mostly pain free lower back for a while!

Thanks, @Barney The Nitro is exactly one of the reasons I like that bass so much. And I’ve played 43mm nuts and liked it. The RW bass is even more but I consider that good. We’ll see what happens… I’m much more into that bass than the Standard. Cheers

it appears to just be a choice of tone capacitors

That’s all great, @terb , but I i think the most important post in that thread is this one:
" I may do another active preamp at some point, but figured I’d give this a try, as I have a bunch of capacitors and rotary selector switches sitting in the shop already, and the $3 they cost is much easier to justify than $150. Especially considering that I just convinced my wife to let me get an upright !"

That’s what I assumed when I saw it.
Can’t really be much else in a passive circuit.
I have been imagining something like this for some time as an experiment, but an outboard box vs. the switch.

Another new pedal for amp and cab sims to contemplate:

Outboard box is a great idea.

Yeah. I have a passive effect box based on the original (50’s) Gibson Varitone circuit. It’s a bit more complex because there is a big inductor in it, but it’s still basicaly a bunch of differently voiced passive filters on a rotary switch.

Nice bird, @terb.

Was actually waiting for this one. The Two Notes software like Gregor said is really good.

Yeah that’s exactly what it is; basically a tone selector with a bunch of different resonant peaks.

These bold fools have made a pedal containing not only some great sounding effects, but also an arpeggiator and a sequencer fed from sampling the input or its looper. Basically its a little sample based synthesizer in a box. It even has granular synthesis, something even my main synthesizer didn’t have until this year.
$459.
Here it is with bass:

Whoa they have a bunch
Sequencers for bass/guitar. Wild. This one’s “only” $300.
These are pretty damn sweet. Good thing I’m not in to hardware gear
