Not sure i would even attempt that at one of the punk gigs. Fingerstyle was a push in a punk band and slap would be pushing it a wee bit i reckon.
That and the fact i'm not very good at slap.
Dave
Wont do fretwork or truss rods if tight. Basic set ups i'm fine with. Electrical problems i can usually cope with but on an expensive bass i would probably take to a luthier.
Dave
I have nothing more to say to you. BC suspension as far as i'm concerned.
OK you were young so maybe that's your excuse. 😂
I think i traded my WAL for a white Ric that i only kept for 3-4mths and traded that for the Fender Jazz i posted earlier in the thread.
Dave
Its kinda funny but i bought a 2nd hand 50's reissue P bass end last year and altho its due to get a decent set up soon there's aomething about it i just like. Butterscotch with maple neck and gold anodised plate. Its not the best bass i've ever had and the neck is wider than i'm used to but i like playing it live.
Its simple ........... V & T what can go wrong with that. Once it gets the action sorted and frets levelled i'll use it more. At the moment its the back up bass to my MarloweDK in the punk band.
Dave
Sometimes less is more. I've noticed with quite a few amps that a little change in Gain can make quite a difference if its hovering on the sweet spot.
Dave
I remember you telling me that era were pretty good P basses.
But why that particular P bass. Was there something about it. You were doing a fair bit of gigging and just curious what made that bass stand out from your others.
Dave
Think this has been done before but happy to add my own.
1970's Fender Jazz maple neck with brown body
WAL custom fretless
Aria Pro SB1000
Shergold twin neck 4 & 8 string basses.
All of them from late 70's to late 80's, See pics below.
