I think it's to do with string tension/thumb position. It's what makes me always wonder when I see playing in the p pickup position. The string is floppier there so moves more which I find makes it harder to play accurately with a nice tight, focused, controlled tone. Playing back by the bridge on any bass results in less string movement so less controlling the string and a quicker more precise, under control sound and playing experience. Ime imv IMHO ymmv etc

Ace! I've played with a guy at open mics who does that, I'm like " What song are you doing?" Him "lots" Me "oh, ok" Him: it's all the same four chords Me"sweet" Top fun, even the fresh prince gets in there.

Incredible service and communication, all at an amazing price. Seriously top drawer. :0)

When I'm not using elixirs I swear by the stuff. Have done for years.

Twin 70's style maple neck jazz basses.

Douche. It's Twin Ion Engine, everyone knows that! That's a basic level question!... muppet! Heh heh Im such a geek!

I've been in an almost identical situation with an almost identical sounding guy! I keep it very occasional and casual these days!! Very.

Thats me, im pretty much that guy, ill be honest!

I had a bit of a beaten up one. I bought it to mod, but never got round to it. Mine weighed a Ton, and sounded pretty dead, but it did need some tlc. Interested to hear how a new one sounds and plays.

I'm quite tempted to sell my shuttle to fund the 1x10 combo (again!) cause I'm in need of a decent, powerful but portable combo; and the head can run my Bergs for everything else. Just not quite sure I've got the guts to sell the shuttle. Especially after my luck with promethean. (Two combos and TWO 1x10 cabs have let me down, and the bag!) Sounds great though.
