So in New Orleans, if you can't do it on a P-bass, you probably can't do it at all. Finally got myself a beauty from a guitarist/bandleader I regularly gig with. Here are the deets: 1976 body-original pickups, bridge, and controls. Pots are new, pickguard is a replacement, and the neck is a chunky AllParts neck with a nice tint and rosewood board (don't know how old the neck is). Most of all, it's got the tone: pure chocolate! It was sitting partially disassembled in its bag in a closet the last few years. I slapped it together, tweaked the action, straightened the neck and threw some broken-in DR steels on her. She's a beauty! A great compliment to my modded Marcus Jazz bass. The slap tone on this bass is super-greasy! I'll definitely be playing her at this years JazzFest. Pics coming as soon as Photobucket decides to work again for me.
