Doctor J Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 [quote name='Linus27' post='1132494' date='Feb 18 2011, 05:42 PM']However, I just can't get my head around my Olympic White Precision with black scratchplate playing this sort of music. I just think punk. I guess I could put the tort plate on which makes it look cream coloured and more retro but in my head its my punk bass that I have slung low and play with a pick [/quote] Bob Babbitt, Motown bassist.

I'll ruin it again, you already have a tort plate. Fit it! I'll ruin even more, you won't like the 51 P, they play like dogshit. It will be for sale after you leave your new project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus its sounding ace with the rotosound rounds on and the tone turned down about 40%. However, over my dead body with this bass have flats on it Still want a 51 Precision.

MythSte Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I'd suggest mutes of sorts if your definitely not up for flats. There are a couple of fittable systems (like on Bobs bass above) but another option would be to fit a bridge ashtray and ram some foam under there. It aint pretty but it works!
