Hey mans, give him a break, I mean probably half the guys here have tried to 'relic' a bass for the look. (+1 on the beat-up P)

Yeh, EQ flat all the way! I keep hearing this is too bassy and loud and that is too bassy and loud, but it's allllll in the fingers.

I don't have a really funny one, but... I tried a bunch of basses at basscentre, and my girlfriend described the Stingray tone as "really funky", and described a Warwick corvette like "dark chocolate" :confused: Made me hungry, to say the least :D

Does anyone know where I can listen to a recording of Take Five that's in F minor? And sorry I meant Wolpe.

There's Bass Centre down here in Melbourne, I've forgotten whether they do shipping around the country but here's the site: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] If they don't stock whatever, then they might be able to order one just for you at a reasonable price. I've sorta asked for a quote on a...

/thread Probably the hardest rock there is.

Really? I just get a "Hmm, you know that's pretty loud at night" When I practised around 11pm. And my room is floored with thin wooden boards with concrete walls.

HAHA, I'm assuming you're playing it amplified?

The pickups I have on my P-bass blew out the standard SPB-1 Vintage ones, they sounded like crap on this bass (or do they sound crap overall?). So I'm guessing the pickups were matched meticulously to the wood, which gave me the idea that this bass was pretty well crafted. But the pickups aren't...

Alright thanks, I'll check it out when I get my P back, I'm thinking it's probably strings that need a change. And I'll give them a wipe with Meth. spirits (alcohol, whatever) after I use it.

By the way, it's not a real Dillion, it's just gonna get a Dillion neck. It's an old Japanese P-bass. The other thing is that the Squier is extremely light compared to my P-bass (which says something about the wood). I think once I get mine back, I should put on some fresh strings, maybe some...

Ok here's the deal. I have a vintage MIJ P-bass, and the PUPs on it ROAR. But I had this problem, that the sound was generally really imbalanced. E.G. First of all, I usually like to set the EQ flat for P-bass. If I set the volume good enough for fingers, it'll be too loud when I slap. When I...

Invalid Link Removed YAY! Bass Guitar Magazine have put up some sound clips! But they haven't got enough up to really listen to what the preamp can do...so at the moment, I'm preferring the passive sound.

I'm surprised, I would have thought the very first reply to this thread would be a redirection to the "Who thinks signature basses are lame?" thread.

Are you serious...:eek:
