Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis
- Start date
Oh I bet anything it's a set neck. A lot of MIJ clones had bolt ons (and some of them were very good instruments) but most of the Grecos--as far as I have ever known (along with "Burnsy" and "Edwards" LP copies)--were spec'ed on early Gibsons.
I think Tokai made a nifty LP copy too. My old Tokai P bass was about as good as any P bass I ever played.
Here's a cool article on a specific '78 Greco LP copy:

Today is a good day, put my 2 weeks in at the glass case of boredom and in celebration of getting the new job ordered myself one of these bad boys...new reverbverbverbverberberberbbb
Also I get to see two of my favorite bands today...ATW at the big gig aka Summerfest. And then WEED, an awesome loud noisey pop band, at a house show.

That sounds awesome! I have a Pharaoh, and it's definitely a worthy fuzz. Heck, I've been tempted to get the supreme for a while, but never really NEEDED to get it. How much for you to build me a regular Pharaoh?
Let me build one first and you can try her out and then we can talk. What's the difference between the supreme and regular again? Just a clean blend or more clipping options? At work still so I can't really look into it at the moment. Still doom rooming lol.
It's a set neck...
Inside one of the pickup cavities. Looks like solid wood to me.
The seller shipped it out hours after I bought it, but it's shipping by post from Japan so it's not going to be here until around the 13th.
It's got 3 more clipping options, and instead of just lo/hi switch options it has a knob for any range in between. Looks killer!
Not necesarilly since its a super great reverb just a bit too complex for my caveman feet for live. Itd be great for studio.
Why You want it?

Danelectro Blue Paisley Pure Drive on bass is also pretty darn good. Not as good as on guitar, but it can cop a B3K tone surprisingly well. It loses a little bit of bass on some settings, not insignificant, but not a lot, but can be remedied via other EQ settings. Overall, it's still good, not great, and if I had to, I could probably make do with this for bass overdrive, but I have other pedals that simply do it better. In summation - decent, but won't be joining the bass board any time soon with my other pedals being better for this sound.
I did forget to mention, however, how transparent this pedal is on guitar. It was very surprising as the other Danos I've played were not. It wasn't a problem as I was wanting that sound, but this pedal keeps your dynamics very well intact. I can still hear the pick attack on almost all the settings I've tried on my guitar. Definitely a keeper on the guitar board, and it has already replaced my Daddy-O, which will be relegated to second board status.
Still waiting on the Black Paisley (Friday) and the Dan Echo (Monday). Dano board will commence soon!

Corey, I have a 1981 MIJ Vantage that is a VERY good guitar, (IMHO.) I think you're going to be really surprised at the quality of this axe.It's a set neck...

I'm excited about it, if it's half the quality it looks for the price I paid I'll be happy. Now I'm just trying to decide if I should sell my '80 Ibanez ST50 guitar or not. I bought it to kind of fill the LP hole. It's a super nice looking/feeling and cool guitar, but it doesn't sound anything like a Les Paul.
If things go well in the next few months, I might look into getting a MIJ Fender Jazz at some point.
Shipped out the Rat, no regrets.
Dryer conked out last night, took a half day so the landlord can come fix it. Good choice, weather's awesome, chilling on the porch waiting for dude to show up.
I'm glad I don't have to pay for all of these major appliances and their repairs.

It's a cool pedal, but like you said you only really like it on guitar and you don't have any guitar gear or plan to get any. So I think that's a pretty good call.
I'm debating whether or not to keep or sell my big Pedaltrain PT2 board with the Voodoo power supply. When I bought it I was using a dual rig setup with a split chain, using the Dunwich preamp on one side, with an FX loop and a few different dirt pedals in the mix. Now I'm going with one big amp and two cabs and I rarely use more than PT Mini can hold and pretty much never need anything my OneSpot can't handle power wise.
I'll fill your LP hole no questions asked big boy, if you give me that ibanez.
You required to be there or just don't want people there without you there? I had to buy my washer and dryer, but I paid $70 for the pair. Dad said in 1979 he paid $70 for a used set, I did ok I think.
I just like to be here when they're in the house. I trust this landlord, but my previous one had some serious issues. I can be friendly, offer help, have all of my tools ready to go, etc. Plus it's a good excuse to take a half day.
Getting a decent price for it really helped me make the decision. 120% markup is nothing to sneeze at.
