Who says an L-2000 has too many switches?

Get your head round that then: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140654423300"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140654423300[/url]

I wonder how many of these stated combinations are A: musically useful and B: the same as some other setting.

My first bass had two pups and an active preamp- my second which replaced it was a p bass.

Just saying

Bloody hell. I find the normal two knobs on a P-Bass enough to cope with during the chaos of a gig.
In fact I'd prefer just an on/off switch. Or what about no switches at all, just a silent plug? Woo.

Still not a patch on some of those seventies classics from the likes of Alembic and BC Rich. Now, that's what I call switch-tastic!

Close, though ;-)

They forgot to include on the list the literally infinite amount of different tones you can get from a single tone pot.

MB1.
Yes! Pot might have something to do with it?

1 in 1200 chance of sounding as good as it could.

I like my basses with tons of switches, but not because of their tons of switches.

Ooh props for the chicken heads. Whenever I mention doing it I get scoffed at.

Didn't Hofner do something like this in the 70s? 150 tones, one of them useable.

I wonder if you get a little man to operate all those switches at a gig like you used to get with a Moog Modular

Put on the previous owner. He took off the 70s knobs and put new ones on to make it look more 70s.

That's a cracking pair of socks drying on the right side of the radiator Mr.F.

[Mr. Foxen]

Those are actually instrument rehumidifiers, to correct warps and fret sprout from being left against warm radiators.

I suppose the katana is for trimming fret ends.

omg, my g&l sb1 is too complex, do not see why it has two control knobs, only ever use them full on in fact is the only way I use basses and guitars, all controls full on, am I missing something (and do not say brain,taste,tone,hearing etc. as I will be upset)
