I quite like the Aussie bloke. Luke from become a bassist. He is my go to you tuber these days. SBL is all shaky camera work and waffle IMHO.

The key factor is the pole pieces and how they affect the attack of the note. The single coil has one pole per string. The split coil has two. The single pole reads the string quite differently from the two poles. Leo Fender designed the dual pole pickup to soften the the attack based on experiences with the single poles trashing speakers in his bass amps.

This interview? Its a good read. 👍 https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2019/03/28/no-control-an-interview-with-suzi-quatro/

I got some Warwick Reds from Gear4music recently. A bargain price and next day dispatch. I sometimes use the tax dodgers too, but the prices seem to creeping up as does the P&P

It wasnt that long ago when the Bass Doc was much revered and respected on here. What happened?

He does say though, that the photo is not an accurate colour match. Its not as pink in real life.

Cool. I quoted some of the specs from this bass to Mark to include in my soon-to-be-here-hopefully P bass. 👍

This one? https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/portfolio/limelight-00224-pino-p/

Discreet had this 63 P bass in Dakota Red made with a very light relic and very thick paint. I owned it for a while.

LPB MIM Standard. Bought this time last year from Thomann. This is one of the last Mexican Standards made, before they dropped the range. Incidentally, this is the only maple boarded bass I own.

Newton Abbot 😊

Sorry. It was supposed to be a reply to Bassman sam and Lou24's conversation about building one unreliced. I was trying to say that he does not as he is trying to simulate a vintage look.

In their website blurb Mark says something along the lines of 'players who want the sound, feel and look of a vintage instrument'. I didnt know that he started out as a cheaper option to Nash.

Scott used to be my go to You tuber if I wanted to know anything bass related. Scales, modes etc. But just recently I have found that there is to much waffle and fancy camera work thats making me feel seasick. I now subscribe to that Aussie bloke who plays a Spector. He's a very good teacher.

I have put my order in with mark. Does he give you regular updates on progress? Or do you not hear anything till its ready. I would quite like to see some work in progress pics.

It'll be lonely this Christmas. 😢

It wasn't that bad. I get the impression that it was thrown together at the last minute. Maybe he didnt have time to work it it out properly in time for the show. You can see the relief on his face when it was over, though. 😂

I,m the fat bloke with the blue guitar. 😢

I,m not a member of drumchat. 🤣

1972 I believe it was. Rory's sweat was acidic. It ate away the finish IIRC

Warning! Bass solo content! 😂 What a brilliant player Gerry Mc Avoy is. Shame he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. 😢

Funnily enough, both groups were signed to EMI and recorded most of their output at Abbey Road Studios in London

I do wear a watch, but I dont wear any rings. Not even a wedding ring. It gets in the way of my playing and the wife doesnt object to it, being as she wears hers.

Who was that man? I'd like to shake his hand.
