So no problem.

Ok here’s take two with the Gibson Bicentennial and the BaCH Bicentennial.

Both sound very similar on my amp and in my recording monitors BUT the volume level on the Gibson is noticeably higher than the BaCH so the only difference in the two recordings is that I had to adjust the recording volume of each bass to reach parody (Gibby came down a bit to keep it from clipping and BaCH went up a bit to match Gibby recording volume).

Both basses have the tone knob full on, the bridge full on and the neck just rolled in for warmth at approximately 2. The caps are all set at .047uf on both basses. I did a repeate of the first test and followed that with a short riff on the high end (high G with melodic fills on the D and A strings).

All observations welcome (just stick to the sound and not my cruddy playing)…

These two recordings are from the same bass at the same settings - Is it Gibby or BaCH?

These two recordings are from the other bass - is it BaCH or Gibby?

I’m guessing Gibson 1st, Bach second.

Mema had a Coronet. Man, was that fun to drive.

I just play them and work with whatever they do.

Generally what I do. But I will be doing a pickup swap in one or two Epis and likely a cap swap or two.

My brother had a ‘67 383 Charger. It was great in a straight line. Handling was not its strong suit.

So no problem.

A gut like Kevlar now.

Maybe that's Gor-tex...

That's silly. If it were Mike his hat would have brown blobs and say "Damn reindeer" on it.

We know this guy!

When Scott was young and had to carry and tech his own bass!

I'm a default kinda guy.

Exactly. His roadie was slacking. Good thing that roadie is a nice guy or he would be in big trouble.

That's a joke that's approaching Mike quality. I approve highly.
