Fantastic colour scheme for a P-bass. I've been in a search for a good P-bass tone these days. I was even close to buying the Alleva-Copollo 5 string 6571-series P-bass, but the guys reported of the neck dive!!! Imagine $2500 passive bass with a neck-dive! After all I could remind the best P-tone I liked the most and surprisingly it was NS-2JA I got from Lee with balance knob fully rolled to the neck p-up. Man, it was increadible. I know it sounds strange that I got a good P-tone from actually a jazz-bass with one single neck J pup but it really was it. The only one that could compete was my friends' 1964 Fender Precision, all original, but it has terrific neck dive making it useless for gigging IMO. I am very sensitive and picky to balance-on-strap issue cause I believe you are not paying over $3000 to keep supporting the neck but to play the bloody thing.

I have not used a strap to perform with yet but it has balance on my leg, I put one on in the practice room and there isn't a balance issue and I will perform with it on stage tomorrow.

Hey guys, I just added recording capabilities to my home practice rig. Here's my first recording.
It's not note for note and there's a couple of flubs but hell, I had fun. Hope you like. (I suggest good headphones :D)

Sounds good, a hell of a lot better than I could do. What were you using to record with?

Thanks Joey.

I run the UV NS2 into my TCE RH450 and out to a Mackie 1202 Mixer. Run my Tascam GT-R1 in the Mackie. Mix to taste. Headphones have a separate volume, Mackie main outputs to the H1.

I am playing with a pick. The blend is about 1/3 favoring the P-pup and bass and treble are dimed. Plus some EQing on the RH450 with a little tubetone for wool. :D

Great sound, that bass sounds killer!

On an unrelated note, anybody know where I could find a used Radial Tonebone Bassbone? I saw Alex Webster using it in his rig rundown and am selling my Aguilar ToneHammer locally because I just got my B7K. I'd love to get something that can do nice cleans while the B7K growls, and the two channel gain setting would be great for me too.

Good luck - I've been checking everywhere for one. They rarely come up used. I saw the same video with Alex's rig, and owning a Webster, I'm familiar with what a "clip machine" it is. I'm not surprised he uses the Bassbone to attenuate his input level.

Ah, I might have to just pick one up new if that's the case, I feel like it'll be really worth it, looks like it has a lot of tonal capabilities. I never really was much of a pedal guy but I have a specific tone in mind that I know I can achieve with a combination of 'always on' pedals.

Echoing what everyone else has said, well-done, my friend. The UV sounds fantastic. That's one of my favorite Rush tracks. :bassist:
