    Some cracking bass in on this song Talk Talk - it's a shame bass cover

    I had a black one of these many years ago, I remember mine being a very dark sounding bass, as I was very young with very little electronics knowledge it frustrated me no end, nowadays I would get a solderless harness fitted. I do wish I still had that bass, it wasn't a particularly good bass, it weighed about 15 ibs, the pickguard cracked in 2 places and had a tone that have been right at home only in a dub reggae band but but there is something very cool and quirky about these basses.
  3. shoulderpet started following Which bass overdrive? , Bass line surprise - “it’s my life” no doubt , Harley Benton MV-4M Mustang Vs Fender player Mustang, anyone played both? and 6 others

    The original song is much better, you are right though great bassline

    As per the thread title has anyone here played both? I have a player Mustang but for around £200 these have a lot of cool features not on the Fender (caramelised maple neck, neck binding, body contours, 12" neck radius) on paper I'm preferring the HB but wondering how they actually stack up, thanks

    Mine is slightly overdriven and on my parametric equaliser a slight boost at 80hz, slight cut at 250hz, big boost at 780hz, big boost at 620hz, slight boost at 1.5khz, these frequencies may vary very slightly but generally this is what works with my current band and I go for an overdriven mud heavy tone.

    I think you made the right call going with the Vintera, I had a Vintera P bass a while ago and I moved it on as I only really play short scales but it was a fantastic bass, way better than any Squier I have they played, you do get what you pay for.

    Definitely noticeably stiffer, the exception being TI Jazz flats

    I don't understand how anyone could argue that his style is not distinctive, you literally know it's him from the moment you hear his bass

    The way that certain strings work on certain basses and some don't is somewhat of a mystery to me. On my Fender Mustang I have tried Fender short scale 95-40(only gauge Fender do then in) Daddario and Ernie Ball short scale strings both in a more standard gauge (105-45 or 105-50, I can't remember) all of which have not quite sounded right. Of the short scale sets the Fender set sounded the least meh so I ordered a 105-45 set of long scale Fender strings with the intention of cutting them down to fit, I put them on and all of a sudden that bass came to life, Strange how that works

    I'm going to have to respectfully agree to disagree on this. To me the description when I looked up the programme seemed quite clear on what to expect which is why I decided to watch it, the description when I looked out up was as follows: Three bassists deconstruct the basslines that defined their careers, beginning with Joy Division and New Order founder member Peter Hook

    Hooky is my favourite bass player ever so I loved it, would have been bored to tears if it was a greatest basslines show

    Phew, if they were on sale here I would be seriously tempted

    Thanks for the replies, for those that have tried the Mojomojo other than rolling off the high frequencies is it fairly transparent? (ie is it only the high frequencies that get rolled off with the mids unaffected?) I tend to roll off a little treble anyway and go for a mid heavy sound so lack of treble is not a deal breaker for me, thanks

    Hoping someone can help, I know exactly what I want but not sure what pedal will get me there, I am super fussy when it comes to overdrives I am after an overdrive pedal that doesn't cut lows (or has a bass eq to add them back in if it does) doesn't cut mids and I am not a fan of clean blend as clean blend always sounds like 2 signals to me I am considering the Mojomojo pedal as a possible candidate, any others I should consider Thank you

    A short scale single coil p bass would be good
