The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

Nice J's :thumbsup: Looks like you favor the 'vintage' stacked VT/VT controls. I have that set-up on three very different, but similar basses - I can't say I prefer one way over another... I use and like both for what they offer!

1) the Glam P/double J pictured above...

2) '68 Coral (Dano) Deluxe Bass

From Bond Girl's 3 set night at Music City SF last Saturday night - my Glam P/J that I recently modded into a Glam P/double J.

I constantly congratulate everyone who has the opportunity to play in the band... Cool glam... Is there a representative song you played on this disco racket? Maybe at least one title to make it clear... :smug:

I would test it and fall in love with these bass wonders... I think that such an old school would definitely surprise me with something... ;)
 
It is a bass ramp and gives me more positions to anchor my thumb when playing with my fingers. I found a gentleman on eBay that was making them a few years back.

Isn't that great? I think it overwhelms this guitar... It takes away its charm... Have you thought about fiddling with the size of this support?
My opinion, don't be angry!


Dude, colleagues... I wanted to ask a few questions about the ramp... Should I start another topic or can I seek advice here? 👀 👀 👀 👀

'Diamond Are Forever' has been a mainstay in our set for years. At one point on the B section Paul started doing a wah-rhythm part on guitar. I countered with the bouncy Disco octave " umbah, umbah, umbah" bass-line following the changes and it always makes me smile - it's so cheesy! We recently recorded it but it's in post-production needing some overdubs. I'll post when it's done.

Don't forget, this song is truly a classic... I'd love to listen to it!
Yep, an unforced smile on your face while playing - priceless!
