Lo.

What a good question...I love 'em both, so I made this bass: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_iYxbkEYDg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_iYxbkEYDg[/url] The 51P pickup takes care of the top and bottom, while the MM lets me get real dirty. Mine's all passive - to get the classic MM sound I would need the right (2EQ) preamp, I use my amp or outboard preamp and shelf boost the bottom and peak boost the 2.5k - it's surprisingly active-sounding.

[quote name='BurritoBass' timestamp='1372434234' post='2125755'] Breaking news (to me anyway but not seen it elsewhere or on this thread) Wilko Johnson is now able to play live again and there is another album in the making [url="http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/news/wilko-to-play-live-again/"]http://www.classicro...lay-live-again/[/url] [/quote] That's great - I saw them in 2011. Norman was godlike. I bought his new album - some great lines on it. if anyone sees him tell him he should do lots more!!

If you like the pure sound of the bass you just need a good quality cable, but if you want something for balanced DI'ing, EQ/limiting etc the Phil Jones bass buddy preamp is great - you can even use is as a practice amp head.

I loved my old Hartke 3500 through my SWR 1x18 (with Bag End). No tweeter. But the Phil Jones Suitcase+4B is simply the best thing I've ever heard to reproduce your sound - your hands and instrument. Most of my youtubes are DI from a preamp but all would sound better using a mic that picks up down to 20hz on my Phil Jones 8x5 "rig".

Hi All Coincidence is funny - here's one of my recent builds [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhUC-io55GM&lc=62HD4fdOZVTlfbsWSn5fbKS1rWsFIksv1thBlgZl58o"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhUC-io55GM&lc=62HD4fdOZVTlfbsWSn5fbKS1rWsFIksv1thBlgZl58o[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctkZyoOfxqk&list=UUR3jZ2eiUF4VJhJtz3eI8kQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctkZyoOfxqk&list=UUR3jZ2eiUF4VJhJtz3eI8kQ[/url] It's a babe... Love the stuff y'all have done. Long live the P.

Thanks for all the info on this thread. I recorded with Z-Bias the other week. A thoroughly decent chap, and amazing to watch creating stuff from scratch on Cubase - I didn't realise he was one of Dubstep's inventors at the time. I used my 62 CIJ P-Bass straight in to the desk. He loved it (heh - at least he said he did) - if he releases summat I'll post a link. I should have read this thread first - I didn't take any effects, and assumed he will do some magic with plugins afterwards. I hope he does - I'd like to hear my p-bass dubstepped-up!

Heh - thanks, but I'll go with the majority on this. It's a great bass, with or without the toys.

I'd ask them for an endorsement but it would cost me more in phone calls than buying another. £50, new. A pain in the ass to tape the neck up to finish the frets, but worth it. The preamp is (obviously) cheap, so I smooth it out with the Phil Jones Bass Buddy preamp and happy days ensue. Hope it doesn't fall apart when I put heavier gauge flats on it - the fender tapewounds are OK but the rotosound tapewounds or normal flats would be better for me I guess.

It sounds like Chuck Rainey but since I don't have any sleeve notes I can't be sure. Anyone in the know? CB[/quote] It was the utterly unfamous Ed Brown on this album. Good stuff! ETA: Don't forget Minnie broke the rules with "Lovin You" - no bass player. Meh.

I have a 2d version - where do I send it for you? It fails as an attachment here... (sorry for ignorance - if there's a way to drop it on here please let me know)

[quote name='gajdosmirci' post='1112370' date='Feb 2 2011, 01:36 PM']Nathan Watts and Verdine White.....should i tell you more about these fantastic bass players????[/quote] Two of my favourites, for sure. Don't forget that James Jamerson was the player on the original versions of I Was Made To Love Her and For Once in My Life - he was quite handy, too. Michael Henderson and Scott Edwards both had short spells in Stevie's band as well, but Nathan bass-god Watts has been the man for over 30 years now.

You two are blessed with the 51 voodoo - please share with us!

As far as I'm aware, Pino played on everyone of these tracks, from Sugababes to Manu Katche, Gary Numan to Daniel Bedingfield! My fave at the moment though are his contributions to Roy Hargrove's Hard Groove. Awesome playing![/quote] Great playlist. Thanks!
