Yep I’ve decided to go for this approach, some bits - the parts to me that stand out - I’m doing note for note, mainly verse, chorus and some rundowns, the rest I’m near but keeping to the feel.
It’s a bit of a strange one, the tuner and the lever are chrome but the shaft where the string goes round and the nut attachment that fixes it to the headstock are both nickel.
Nice example of a 2022 Made in Mexico Player Precision, and light too at 8.3lbs.
Can do with either black tort or white plates as per pics. Holes in the headstock where I added the Hipshot triple retainer.
No case or gigbag so collection/meet only.
No trades thanks.
No, we don’t gig, just rehearse. and the rest of us know that we would be far too loud for a pub sized venue - we’d get halfway through a soundcheck and get thrown out, that kind of volume empties places. Plus the kit itself is bigger than most pub stages.
Sadly my band need those watts. Whatever 500/600 watt amp of the studios that I use, through their 810, its on a minimum of 5, otherwise I can’t be heard. It’s the drummist, yet another caffeine fuelled chimp with hammers.
Great bassist, plenty of attitude, whilst people might say he didn’t play anything difficult he did it with the attitude and aggression the material required, doing that for a whole gig is harder than many might think.
I couldn’t play with any kind of rings on any of the fingers on my left hand. Fortunately I’m not married so wouldn’t have to try to explain removing a wedding ring to play my bass.
If I recall correctly we tried this at a Bass Bash once, same bass and 4ohm amp into the same cabs, both 4 & 8ohm versions. Again from recall no real noticeable volume difference but the 4ohm cab sounded more “alive” in comparison.
I think getting to grips with the tone stack is a big thing with these, when I had one I couldn’t get anything from it that I liked, turns out I just didn’t know about the way it was set up. I’ve used them since and now - thanks to Basschat - I understand them it’s easy enough to get great sounds, especially with a pick.
