Ross Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Stuff the old fashioned way. If fender could mass produce basses in the 60's extremely sought after today, not to mention a whole chunk of oldschool tube amps, handwired, handcrafted. Why can't they mass produce this stuff today without it costing an absolute arm and a leg, we still have the 60's technology. dust it off and start making things how they used to be. Seems every time some kind of replica is brought out it's not the same, it's always incorporating loads of new technology and build differently so would never sound the same.

Wolverinebass Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 [quote name='Clarky' post='1208070' date='Apr 22 2011, 10:49 AM']Why don't Tech 21 wake up and smell the coffee and make a small Class D amp with a Sansamp EQ section? They have one of the strongest brand names for DI/EQ and yet insist only on applying this to pedals or relatively heavy (>20lb) 'old school' type amps[/quote] I'd sooo have that. Give me the PSA 1.1 with a digital power section and I'm there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire5 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 [quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' post='1208717' date='Apr 22 2011, 10:29 PM']I wish Fender would reissue the 60s slab Precision bass, as used by Entwistle - not so much for the bass itself (although that would be seriously cool), but for that incredible soundng pickup/tone circuit. Nobody seems to knows what was done differently, the fact is they sound utterly amazing. It's all there on Live at Leeds.[/quote] What he said.Even if it was Squier,wouldn't matter.I'd just want it for the way it looked and felt,a seriously nice bass to play.Come to think of it,maybe if I had an uncontoured body blank,black scratchplate........hmmmm.

hillbilly deluxe Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 A law against covering basses in plastic paint. A rig the size of a shoebox with huge power and ultra light weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Buying of Unnecessary Rhythm Products)[/quote] I want to click on like, but we don't have such a function. Some kind of automatic sweat sucker, so that when i come to have to replace the pickups on my basses, I can unscrew them without finding the top screw has turned to a mass of rusty crap. I've tried remembering to wipe them down, but never manage it in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IME non-programmable effects are pretty much unusable outside of the studio as they take too much time and effort to set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
