There was a you tube video of a Beach Boys concert featuring Brian Wilson using the tugbar on a 1960's P Bass posted on here a while ago.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1485935027' post='3227757'] Never really got the issue with blokes doing songs originally by women or vice versa. Tina herself did it with Proud Mary. Obviously there are very gender specific songs that wouldn't work. [/quote] The Shirelles had a song called 'Boys" The Beatles covered it and got away with it too!

Does it have to be a bass? There are a plethora of excellent quality amps and cabs and combos out there too.

Matchstick and a bit of glue worked for me.

We used to open with Lenny Kravitz Are You Gonna Go My Way, but have recently started the set with Pretty Vacant.

Fleetwood Mac - Behind The Mask. Released in 1990 after Lindsey Buckingham quit after the million selling Tango In The Night. They had to get two guys in to replace him. It got panned, but I think its great!

Thumb over the pickup of course. (Unless I play with a pick)

Blonde On Blonde or anything by Bob Dylan. When I first heard Rainy Day Women I thought it was on the wrong speed!

Great addition to the CMD 121. I always turn the tweeter down low on mine, but then again, thats my personal choice.

[quote name='Muppet' timestamp='1484640568' post='3216987'] I find it great for recording too - very tight bass sound that delivers results. [b]Do you know what microphone your engineer used? [/b]Every time I've been in a studio the engineer has always taken a mic and DI feed. [/quote] [b] AKG D112[/b] Actually a bass drum mic. http://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/AKG-D112-MKII-Kick-Drum-Microphone-with-Flexible-Mount/18Z9

These guys used to work for Chandlers in Richmond, but have since set out on their own. http://www.richmondguitarworkshop.com/

Figaro - Brotherhood Of Man

Has anyone used one of these for a recording? I am currently in the studio making an EP with my band, and the engineer miked up the speaker of this little combo, while simultaneously running a line out from the XLR. I must say, I was quite impressed with the sound. I wasnt bothered about miking the speaker, but the engineer said it would sound great. And it did!

Didnt they change the Pickups from 2012 onwards?
