The basic flaw in the p-bass

[P Town]

"Hate metal". It's probably a sub-genre of metal that requires the use of Tantalum capacitors.

There is no flaw with a P-Bass.
Just the people who talk about them.
The P in P-Bass stands for carrots.

The end.

Hate metal is alive and well on the Ric forum...












Oh no I didn't!

Well basically, even though it might seem like she did, she di-unt. Oh no, she di'unt.

I hope that clears it up.

lately I have been using a preamp with my pbass, if I feel like it's lacking lows, I just add some at the pre (Eden WTDI), this seems to work for me.

I recently bought this bass built by John Cruz.
Didn't understand the tone knob, allthough i liked what i did.
Sounds like a midcut kind of thing.
I mailed the Fender customshop and now i get it.
So, more than enough low end for me!

Wait... what? That's an incredible bass regardless!

Thanks, very happy with it

There's a second pickup under the pick-guard? 2 pickups = not a P bass according to a lot of P bass fans. So, is it a P bass or not? hmmm?

P2 bass?

Listen if you want a bit of growl and bite turn the tone up.

If you want mids-rich tone turn the tone down.

Simples.

It means that Rick haters feel a compulsion to post anti-RIC things at regular intervals apparently, even if a thread has nothing to do with Ricks or the company, etc...

I have known several dudes named Rick over the years and they have all been pretty decent guys. And then there'e Rick from Magnum P.I..... I mean come on who could hate that guy. I don't get the whole "Rick hate" thing.

So can you never solo the P pickup? Pretty odd setup, but neat. What type of pickup is it that is under the guard?

Yes i can, with the tone knob full. Backing down tone blends in the hidden pick, renewing idea.
Combination with turning down the volume makes other sounds.

I think they're jealous of his hair....

To reply to the OP... The glaring irony in this being Entwistle's tone is all mids with little bottom.



Pretty sure I've never had a problem getting bottom out of my Ps.
