I absolutely adore recycling projects....these basses are going to be fantastic!

Beautiful bass, lots of love here for Zon's!

Incredible, creative artist. Commiserations.

I always played it with finger style. Its a great line I but never really found it particularly difficult.

This was post funeral of which I'm sure Phil attended. He is most likely crippled with grief. [/quote] No I wasn't aware of that. I apologise to Phil unreservedly...

Phil Campbell "couldn't make it"...seriously? WTF

In my experience they range from good to decent to mediocre. Choose yours carefully

Excellent, thanks for sharing. I really like Spector basses

Great track from a very good band. This was one of my favourite bass lines from this era. I often wondered though how JT could switch from the plectrum groove to the slap line live (which he obviously doesn't do in the studio recording). I used to manage it easily enough, but as a non plectrum player I switched from plucking to slapping.

Viewed this post expecting to hate it.... and I love it.

[quote name='keefbaker' timestamp='1452269808' post='2948364'] Ok, just listened to a demo of a Billy Sheehan Attitude... sounds like a monster. [/quote] I used to own one and they have a mid to low end growl like no other. P bass on steroids! They are also built like brick outhouses.

Di Marzio P bass pickups? The Yamaha Billy Sheehan models growl like a rottweiler by all accounts.

Because sound is so subjective its hard to comprehend what another person considers to be an "[i]angry[/i]" sounding instrument. My own assessment of "[i]angry[/i]" would necessitate the kind of "grit" that a Sansamp DI or similar type of pedal would add as opposed to the actual instrument...although I would think theat a P bass is a good starting point. I personally use the Hartke bass attack for this type of thing when required...it makes my basses angry anyway...

A big fan here, have been since the early 80's when i stumbled across [i]Masques & Livestock. [/i]Percy is an Incredibly talented and innovative unique voice on the bass.

I get on very nicely with Ibanez SR's and this looks fantastic. Well done Ibanez - I expect this to arrive at an extremely reasonable price tag

You usually don't know what you have until you lose it.

Great bass...and cool story. Sweet!

Ah, the humble Precision....arguably the Ford Mondeo of the bass world. Designed with simplicity, affordability and effectiveness in mind as opposed to any specific allusions to sonic or aesthetic properties...but in fairness Leo hit the mark. I play a Warwick Corvette & Ibanez SR 1205 - both of which, from my perspective being superbly well designed and lacking any annoying flaws.

Very sad news indeed....legend

Warwick corvette standard should meet your criteria well!
