I only lasted with Satin Love Orchestra for 18 months because the singers were so shallow. It wasn't my fault, but they shat on me so much that it wasn't worth it. I left and joined another band called The Owls in 1998. They were actually better. The problem was that their leader, Mike Cox...

Delano makes a P replacement with dime-sized poles, only four. $145 from Best Bass Gear, free shipping. A wish list item right now. I only play to my dog in the living room; gigging days probably over. The part would go in a Rondo SX P copy - whoopee. Thanks for the positive review.

Warwick used to be MEC electronics, so thanks for the new info. Where in the Great White North do you live? I've only traveled as far north as Nanaimo with my parents when I was 13yo. I live in Eugene, OR USA. Sorry we took a while in replying.

Thanks Keith for the "like" and if I discover anything re: Dave's tone, of course I will share it. BTW, I too am NW (Eugene, OR). Played with Satin Love Orchestra in 1997-98. Very stressful business; not much fun. The only gigs I enjoyed were with a hick rock band called Blueface from...

Hi, Keith. I'm new to this forum, but an old-timer in rock bass. You say it was a Precision with no mods. My ear detects a difference re: Leftoverture, tho. Sounds like a Badass bridge. Compare this tone to his P on Point of Know Return, which isn't as fat. Does anybody know for a fact if...
