Aha Got ya

Digging deep into my skills with mathematics ( not ) i make that 5 basses , down from 7 Then again, i'm not known for my dexterity in subtraction

Just another thought .. one of my basses has a monster pickup ( Schaller Bassbucker ) right up the body next to the end of the fretboard That is a BIG sound, i can tell you. This can help a lot without having to resort to distortion, which is something i detest on bass, though peoples taste in bass tones vary, obviously

Do you mean a 3 piece plus a crooner, or do you mean 4 piece as in guitar, bass , drums, and ...some other instrument ? I was in a 3 piece ( git , bass, drums ) for a few years when i lived in Northampton, and we picked our tracks so that the sort of thin sound you mention when solos kicked in was partly avoided. The other ways is your guitarists sound. Our git was well aware of this thinning out, and set his tone accordingly. Being a grade 8 teacher, he knew what to do to fill the sound, rather than leave that to the bass, which is much harder to do

A hacked no name P Bass. Reshaped head, and tuners replaced by the looks of things Nasty

The choice of main and complimentary woods is marvellous. The scale length doesnt work for me personally, but that bass in 34 or 35 would be stunning

Another wild night on Babychams ?

No sweat, they were in the fridge

I emailed Clive Button a few months ago ( one of the original engineers of TE ) , and yes, he's still going, to ask about whacking in another amp, and although my particular model couldnt be swapped out, he told me that my original TE speakers will take a lot more than the amp was rated at. Whack the Ashdown in and keep the original TE drivers. Neos wont make much of a difference, as said already

I cant find my car keys
