NAS Bass

Stand out early bass influences in order that I heard them: Dennis Dunnaway - his playing on the whole Schools Out album blew me away and still does Jim Lea Richie McCracken - live Taste John Paul Jones JJ Burnel All of these have truly influenced my playing and inspired me. Many others would be on a "favourite" bassists list. Whilst there are many I enjoy, I cant say any guitarists have inspired my playing

Interesting, I'd not considered Bartolini's. Thanks, I will look them up

Been going through a bit of a pickup trial / test with one of my Precisions. Recently been trying the Bare Knuckle 65. A great PU apart from the seemingly "spiky" top end that I cant EQ out or tame with flats etc. Any other users have similar experiences or alternatives? This is for a maple board, alder body P, usually with nickel rounds, played fairly clean. Others I've used or still have in various Precisions: Early and late 70's originals (all really good) Pre-CBS MIM Frailin 10%+ (quite good if a little dark) EMG GZR (fantastic across the whole EQ range) Fender 62 "original" (lots of treble)

Last played at the C&H many years ago. Last time was at a fundraiser for the Stairway Memorial for the WW2 Bethnal Green tube disaster.

Is there still live music at either of those pubs?

Coach & Horses by any chance??

Great amps. I used a 700RB-II with an Ampeg 410HE for many years

I Don't Care. The Ramones. About 1978

Nigel responded to my ad in the Items Wanted section for a Tech 21 Battery Housing Cover. Not only did he send it free of charge but it was amazingly packaged! Outstanding, this guy is all that is good about Basschat. Thank you!

Nice! What are the main differences that you're noticing between the EVO IV and the Geezer?
