Yes @howard its a byproduct of the brewing industry.
“ The product that was to become Marmite was invented during the late 19th century when the German scientist Justus von Liebig discovered that brewer’s yeast could be concentrated, bottled and eaten”

Marmite is all I have access to locally. I know Amazon has both but I’ll try the Marmite and see how I handle it.

As a fan of both Bass VIs and Vegemite, I support this thread.

When I was in Sydney the locals had a surprisingly spirited discussion about the best way to make a vegemite sandwich. And the consensus was pretty much exactly what @Barney posted. Didn’t get a chance to try any.
I should have taken a pic of my breaky- three thickly spread buttered pieces of toast

I was in Brussels at one point buying some bread. I couldn’t really understand the vendor so I asked him if he spoke my language. I was very confused when he handed me a sandwich with Vegemite.

So back on topic, I think I could bodgy together my own strangle switch on a HB Bass VI.
For those with the Squier, is the strangle switch a useful feature?

I honestly don’t use it, yet.

've looked at this harness and wondered if converting the strangle switch to a neck/middle series/parallel switch wouldn’t be more useful.
I get why you would might want a strangle switch on a Jaguar guitar, on a bass not as much

Many, many guitars have controls like this; you can thing of them as alternate tone ranges. My guitar actually has a power transformer (might be unique!) in it such that when you engage the circuit it gives you both a natural passive boost, and also shifts the tone such that the highs are squished. Kind of the opposite of the strangle, which I understand is a HPF.
