A Cold Day in Hell

[BAG]

I feel like newbie. I had told the manager the other day, the neck needed an adjustment. They set it up and now it plays like buttah!

Stop it Cheese! You can really hear the hollowness of that body and now I want an Ibanez SRH again...... but I. Don't.Need.It!

 

[mikeswals]

Hmmm...
Seems to me like you really want a StingRay now.

 

[A9X]

but I. Don't.Need.It!

Like when has they stopped anyone around here?

 

[DJ Bebop]

Here's a rundown on Laura's gear. Her part starts at about 16:39.

Yep, pickups. I like she's using a mute and flats

I have a SX Jazz that has that older head stock.
It's an ash body that weights in a just a hair under a hundred pounds with Ultra Jazz pickups.

I played that Spectorcore I have on layaway again, and I have come to the conclusion that I don’t want it. I like my fretless Yamaha with the EMG split pickup better. I could buy something else, but I think I will just get a refund, if the store charges me a restocking fee, cool. It’s funny, I was at GC and checked out a bunch of stuff, including a nice Sandberg, and I don’t want anything. My Geddy, Yamaha, and other basses work just fine for me, I am going to keep my money in my pocket.

That's when you know you've got what you really want.i went through the same thing and it stopped when I discovered Sandberg.

However, I had a spectercore and really liked it when I wanted to get an upright sound. If it had been 4 string, I'd still have it.

@Dr. Cheese, sorry, not trying to hijack your thread.

I did that already, sorry @Dr. Cheese,

 

[jamro217]

Yeah, snowy, too.

 

[Dr. Cheese]

The great irony is that now, not only is that Spectorcore sounding and playing good again, I really want a single coil Precision. The good thing is that the Squier Classic Precision is not expensive.

The Squier.
Is that a new one with the poplar body or an old one with a pine body with ash veneer?

Doc, and it sounds very VERY good. A tone you could really work with. I think it'd sound great in a gospel setting...and just about anything else that requires good, supportive bass. These SCPB's are like a cross between a split-coil precision, and a Jazz on the front pickup. Classic tone with a pronounced mid 'bark' that gives the instrument a lot of character - in a very good way.

I don’t know. The wood does not matter to me with that great sound it has.

 

[pglaser01]

What store is that you’re playing at in the OP?

 

[George Dennis]

I was looking at my receipt, I may not be able to get a refund. If cannot, I may get that T-40 they have because I could probably flip it pretty or easy or I may get this bass since it is something I always wanted but never seriously thought about buying:

Love that single coil Doc

Update: the manager finally had the bass set up. It plays properly now. I feel like a newbie for complaining!

Beating G.a.s is a true test of strength and discipline

 

[Dr. Cheese]

Love that single coil Doc

I do too.

 

[rashrader]

Just swinging by CheeseBass.com to see how things are.... Par for the course.

That’s what I was thinking too......you could get that tone on your Geddy front pickup . Maybe. Might be time to compare.
However I do think that CV 50’s Pbass would make a nice addition.

I will work on that tone with the Geddy before I run and spend money.

Too bad I was rattling something when I hit that E string.

All I'm hearing is a phone that can't cope with the almighty humpity bump of single coil thump!
Lovin' those riffs!
