P-Bass Club (Part 2) Precision Decisions

[joshmickelson]

I just bought a 62 Ri MIJ off another message board. It should be here some time this week! I will post pics when it's in.

I bought my first bass in 1995 and it was a samick pbass clone. I am excited to have on again!

Any recomendations on setting it up? I notice a lot of pbasses get the buzz on the low e because the PU is a bit high, So I will adjust that. Any thing else? I'll be playing everything from rock to soul.

Als ge een camera hebt of ene kunt lenen maak dan wat fotos van je eigen materiaal.

People here like to look at pictures rather than read.
If you have taken several pictures of your gear (bass, amp, all togheter,...) load them up to a site like www.photobucket.com

this is my account: http://s285.photobucket.com/albums/ll59/CthulhuTB/

Always handy to have pictures ready.


Now to get back on track with precision basses again, here is my TF again in his coffin.

[EriktheRed]

Hi, folks

Bass rookie here (since Nov 2007). This is my '94 P-Bass, made in Mexico with a DiMarzio split-rail and chrome knobs I installed myself.

Just recently got it re-strung and its neck adjusted. What a difference!

(Btw, the 2 pedals on the floor are a limiter/enhancer and a chorus.)


P.S. Can I get a number?

 

[EriktheRed]

That chick sure knows how to play bass.

So does the girl in Southern Culture on the Kids.

 

[bass'n it]

[EriktheRed]

Being the rookie that I am, can someone here tell me what "MIM" stands for?

 

[matrok]

You've got one, made in Mexico

 

[redstrand]

Thank you. I got a SX 57 P. Pure muawwh.


Good stuff.
I'm working on pics.

Congrats.... check my sig

What did you get?




Oh yeah, post pics or you don't have one.

 

[redstrand]

I'm still around. I don't have access to this at work. I also like to do a little practicing so I can justify buying my toys...lol.

Anyhoo. Number update!

730 josbroek
731 dlegault
732 count von count
733 EriktheRed

I'll post pics of my growing P family tomorrow...maybe tonight after I shim the neck on my EKO. I've also been busy with my neato trade for a Fender Coronado...got it dialed in for thumpyness.

 

[EriktheRed]

Aaaaaaaahh!

someone likes yamaha a whole lot, sheehan fan?

No not really.
My first fretless bass was one of those black Yamaha RBX260Fs. I think the left one in the group picture.
That bass is sort a say criple now. Neck warped and a lot of "battle" scars. To the right of it is an exact same bass in mint condition that I bought about a year ago.
I can't get rid of these basses because of sentimental value.

I also got an Yamaha RBX170 and an Yamaha John Myung signature RBX6JM 6-string.
I bought that 6-string because I got a great deal on it, and to try out a 6-string. ... I like 4-string precision basses better.
I'm also not a John Myung fan.

and the bit about the fanned frets in your sig is from a thread i started [=

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. Time to lose that quote in my sig.
It was giving a new guy a hard time here on TB. Sorry about that.
It was the way you asked about fanned frets that brought on all those snippy comments.

No hard feelings. We're both not here to make enemies.

Phwoar, absolutely stunning!

Thanks.
Although I take crappy pictures so it seems.
I'll better read that thread about bass photography.

Here are my precisions:

and my MIM

Nice basses.

Is that Sonic Blue on you MIM?
I tried out a Squier CV in Sonic Blue recently.
I didn't liked the color in daylight.
But it looks allright in your pictures. Or is that something else than Sonic Blue.
Maybe it was the bridge cover on the Squier CV that threw me off.

You don't seem to understand Talkbass yet,....... the whole idea is to hate everyone who thinks different from you in any way!

My guess would be Ice Blue Metallic, Sonic Blue is a pastel, IIRC.

And its a hot bass at that!

EDIT: By the way, your avatar is awesome!

Yup, that's true.
Because of that, you are my only friend here on TalkBass.


Actually that is bad news for you.

My guess would be Ice Blue Metallic, Sonic Blue is a pastel, IIRC.

And its a hot bass at that!

Yup, cause I like his blue bass.

It must be that creamy pastel blue on the Squier 60s CV that I don't like.
Regardless of color, that Squier was an awesome bass when it came to sound.

EDIT: By the way, your avatar is awesome!

TALLY HO! You mad Irish royster doyster you!
