The basic flaw in the p-bass

There's an unsubscribe function for those who don't want reminders. That's the easy part.

Then you have to have some self control to not look in threads you're not interested in, and simply skip over them. That seems to be a more difficult concept for a lot of people. ;)
 
THE END.

We hope you enjoyed the story folks it's been a great journey.
Take care driving home now.

Thank you and Good night! :)

Sit Ubu, sit.... good dog. *ruff*

Paramount (A Gulf Western Company).

Next up on a very special episode Family Ties, uncle Tom Hanks comes over and punches Alex in the face.
 
Whatever his concern, Entwistle's favorite bass--the one he said he'd be buried with--was a P-bass!:D

I started on a P-bass, because it was the norm, and I though the oblong Jazz body was hideous. I've recently transitioned back to P-basses, specifically a 2010 MIM Classic 50s. I'm in love with the tone I get. Now, my Squier/MIM Frankenfender needs a new tone circuit, but that's just the cheap components. The P-bass really stands the test of time.
 
Listen to Moving Pictures he gets almost the exact tone from the Rick and the Jazz.

I can't tell the difference between the two tones on the album. I love how it's been over 30 years and people still argue which is the Rick and which is the Jazz. People also debate the same thing about Beatles songs.

Maybe Geddy double tracked the bass on Moving Pictures and every song is the Jazz and Rick?!??

a passive bass, played aggressively into a distorted amp in the middle of a fairly dense mix, yeah not so easy to pick out the subtleties.
