I'm looking to put a set of new passive pickups in my p bass.
Ive been told 58 Bareknuckle or 61 radioshop pickups are really good has anyone used these and what do you think?
Hands down JJ Burnel for me the stranglers were the first band I went to see in 1977 when I was fifteen.
I said to this man who was stood next to me what type of guitar is that ? And he answered a fender precision bass son and that was it for me. I saved up the money to buy a fender p bass black and maple of course £135 brand new I think.
lve seen hundreds of bands over the years but JJ's sound has never been bettered IMO I've see the stranglers dozens of times now and his sound still to this day flaws me.
i spoke to JJ once and we discussed his sound he's big fan of British made products that's why he uses rotosound strings Ashdown amps and a John shuker Bass.
It's an absolute farce I'm seriously thinking of not going.
ive paid for rail and a two night stay fri/sat and by the look of it I might Just as well of went to my local guitar guitar store .
I have just got a 58 p bass from John at Bravewood and it's one of the best p basses I've ever picked up. I'm sure whoever gets your bass won't be disappointed.
I know I've got the early bird weekend ticket but it's a bit like buying a ticket for a gig but you don't no who's on.
but it's a weekend in London so that's not a bad thing and I can always pop into the bass gallery.
