nipplebass Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 [quote name='73Jazz' post='1276050' date='Jun 20 2011, 04:49 PM']I think she belongs to this thread, 1978 Fender P [/quote] that P is quite possibly the sexiest bass I have ever seen!!!!! Quote
Beedster Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) I don't think it gets better than this pair '78/'79 Precision and '07 4003. Ric 4445 tapes on the 4003 give pure McCartney thump, DR Bootsy's on the Precision give it quite an 80's Wal-esque vibe. Very different animals but the Ric has the edge.

I'd have throught that it and the Wal would be quite similar in the same way as my Precision and Ric share a great degree of tonal options (although having rounds on the Precision and Ric Tapes on the 4003 reduces the crossover substantially)? The Wal is nice too of course C Edited July 30, 2011 by Beedster Quote

The Wal is nice too of course C[/quote] You'd think they'd be similar, both being essentially mahogany bodied / twin humbucker / ebony board fretlesses. But in fact not; the Ovation is passive, has a more "acoustic" core tone, and has two very different p/up designs for bridge and neck placed about as far apart as it's possible to. Combined p/up's gives quite a Jazz bass-y "honk", but neck p/up solo has a massive amount of low end and does a very convincing woody acoustic upright DB tone - similar to the Ric in fact - and the Wal can't do that. What the Wal does do is that slightly compressed, mid-rich growl / mwah that every '80's bassist (myself included) wants. Playing ergonomics are almost identical though, which is a plus. Liking the new bridge on the maple Precision BTW, and gonna have to try DR Bootsy's....... Quote
