[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1404490344' post='2493187']I've always loved Dave Margen's burpy P bass tone (call it moist and spanky myself )
Have you ever seen this vid? There's some good up close shots along the way.
Love his work on Santana's Moonflower album, some if the best burpy P tone ever recorded in my opinion (if indeed we're on the same page here! ) I always thought he used a maple boarded P to get that sound but no, turns out he used this Oly white pre CBS P on everything. He still uses it today if and when he plays apparently, your '62 should do the business with the right strings/set up.
Good luck with the ongoing quest!
(Oh yeah, Dunlop's are cracking strings but I never gave mine chance to die properly so let us know how you get on.)
PS.. Your bass is always gonna sound better if you rock it with a nice porno moustache!
