This is how I pretty much play for songs that i'm playing close to the neck for deep tones.

Southern Comfort for me too. Been 32 years and still gag at the look and smell of the stuff.

I have the same bass, but the P version, a PB-551 in the same colour. It's what's referred to as a contemporary/boxer series. Mine is an A series serial number 1985-1986. The pickups, neck and light weight are all winners in my book. I got lucky finding mine, they are getting more rare and...

1) Ampeg PF-500 with PF-210HE for play out and home use 2) Ampeg BA-112 V2 for playing with the band at our weekly sessions and smaller venues They both weigh about the same, but have similar sound wherever I play.
