Hey all! Another Fresh Look video taking a peek at my Conklin GTRP-4 Rocco Prestia signature. These things are super rare and really nice basses (where the rest of the groove tools line was.... average). The tone on this thing is KILLER. Enjoy!



Lobster - forgot so many times to tell you

"We play basses with more than four strings to make you ask stupid questions. Other than that they're completely useless."- Benjamin Strange

Is 100% correct IMO!!!!!!!

thanks
 
Not a video, but this just came in today! MTD Kingston 5 (don't know the particular "trim" name). I just cleaned her up, set her up, and restrung with some MJC Nickels and it is sounding and playing really great. I'm digging the neck a lot, and it's tone is very punchy. This is my first MTD, and I don't think it will be my last.... Those double bucker ones that Dr. Cheese posted about look mighty interesting.

Added a Mexican Black P bass with tapewounds.

I have 2 p basses (1 flats one tapes), a jazz with rounds, a musicmaster with tapes, and an elite with rounds.

Anyone have an idea of what I should be looking at next? i need something to get my gas going. what else do the pro bassists have lol. More P basses? Sadowsky? Something weird.

the neck is awesome.
 
I've been wanting to check out one of those too! Yours is beautiful
Thanks

it was an amazing score

Sshhhh. $200 CAD.

Your white one is super classy looking. My guitarist just grabbed a natural one like yours with the single humbucker with a built in preamp. He’s enjoying it thoroughly and send me a recording that surprised me with it’s tone. Way more P then I expected.
