Last night was out first night in the studio. We do southern rock/country kinda stuff. Through a typical set, I amy change basses 2 or 3 times, depending on what we are doing. I took the triplets last night, and figured I would use them all throughout the session. NOPE! I plugged in the Glaub direct.....and I saw a big smile on the engineers face. He said it was the best sounding fender he had ever heard. I chuckled a bit and got to educate him on Laklands. I completely understand why a precision is so widely used. Without trying to sound like a cliche', it sat PERFECTLY in the mix. I tracked 3 songs last night, and on 2 of them I had my tone knob at about 75%, and on the last song, it was completely rolled off. Absolutely perfect. I had been contemplating putting flats on my Glaub, but after last night, I will stay right where I am at.
Haha...cool! P basses can work on most on studio recording, but especially in that style they are just hard to beat. Glad it was a success!

I know there's a lot of 10 Years fans on TB, myself included. I don't know their names or nothing, but the guitarist they call Tater IIRC, played with The American Plague (another Knoxville band) last night at the show. Nice guy, you'd have never known he was the star he is, except he has that KILLER stage prescence that only comes from playing a zillion gigs :).

Yeah, I never really had a P until the BG5, and it really does sit in a mix SOOOOOOO well.
 
Im stuck guys.. I cant decide between the:

Lakland DJ5
Lakland JO5
Lakland 55-02

I love me some Jazz bass, its my pride and joy, but I want some different tones than my Geddy. Maybe that right there means 55-02.
 
That may happen, if I like the necks, and the tone any better.

Before I played Laklands, I had a Geddy. I thought it was the pinnacle of passive J-style basses at the time. Then I get a sky JO, my mind being blown I sold the Geddy. Then I got an incredible US JO and sold everything...

All of this time later, I'm rocking two passive US DJs and that's it.
