Played this today. After going back and forth on the bridge height, I think I have the pups adjusted they way I want. Sounded amazing with the tubes. One of those days when playing and you find yourself really noticing how good a bass sounds and enjoy the moment.
Of course it looks like this now.

Nice!
Then you told Thomas he had to take that heavy butt rig back out the the garage by himself. Shame on you Dad.
Posting the Boss! Now you’re talking Dave.
You can keep the Boss, but I’ll take that pink Cadillac.
Any Death Cab/Gibbard fans? (I am). Good interview with the new album out.

Ben Gibbard on Breaking Out of Lyrical Jail — The New Yorker
The front man of Death Cab for Cutie discusses resisting nostalgia, working through loss, and why he can’t get away with singing like Matt Berninger or Thom Yorke.
Tell your young man, Very Cool! It’s so nice to see a totally chill bass player, perfectly content to lay back and enjoy the groove. Get that guy some reggae chops and he’ll be a star!
PS - ultra cool to see a dad enabling the next generation to get involved in music. Kudos Chuck.
Good stuff!Any Death Cab/Gibbard fans? (I am). Good interview with the new album out.

My second bass (EB3) brought new in '70? It was a NOS '68 but I didn't know that - I believed what they told me. A couple years later I stripped (like everybody else then) the trans-cherry finish and had a local shop pull the frets out & make it fretless. (much pre learning about JP) I'm a life-long modder...
Next bass was my '63 T-bird II. (stollen in '78)
The day my '64 II arrived... SX-70 pic! (posted previously)

My EB-3, the mudbucker is silly fun, with a little volume behind it the house rattles. I like using the bridge pickup by itself and playing thru a tube guitar amp, it easily cops that cool woofy tone of Andy Fraser. Mine is likely a 1970, it has no tug bar and a black plastic surround for the mudbucker, it's a really fun, interesting bass to play, balances very well, and you won't look or sound like the next guy!
