You were quoting names of bassists whom I don’t know well; I almost only listen to ‘60s/‘70s music and my personal goal would be that of sounding similar to that Mr. Paul Jackson when he was playing a P-bass. If a Fender CS can provide it to me at, say, 3800$, it’s very good (for those who have 3800$ to spend in a bass of course). If AC can provide the same service at 5000$, it’s not that good. Try to ask on the forum what’s the general consensus about how well, for instance, the Pino Palladino model incarnates and represent the sound of a P-bass. I’m almost sure that the vast majority of users, even those who don’t own one but have listened to various samples of it, will say that this particular bass generates a stupendous and almost archetypal P-bass tone. Im not so sure about what the result of a similar poll would be if the users were to express their judgement in relation to AC’s interpretation of the P-bass concept (ok, a new Pino Palladino model costs more than 4000$ and we get close to AC’s territory but there’s the deal with Pino to be honoured in this case and, in any case, they sometimes can be found in the second hand market at more decent prices). Do you see any fan-boyism in what I’m saying? I’m just plainly stating what I believe are facts. I think we’ve established they might not be the bass for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Who’s in charge here? It feels like talkbass. “Am I wrong?” “I don’t know, are you?” ”no, you are” ”am I?” ”yes - idiot” ”oh...ok...” ”who are you talking to, yourself?” ”yes you” ”am I?” ”I don’t know” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't quote any names of bassists at all, so I think you are talking about someone else. I don't know who Mr Paul Jackson is, I just googled and he appears to be a consultant at sports and exersize medicine for a private health company. I am guessing he can probably afford a good bass then! 3 minutes ago, Gianni "Orlandez" Orlati said: If a Fender CS can provide it to me at, say, 3800$, it’s very good (for those who have 3800$ to spend in a bass of course).

I’m just plainly stating what I believe are facts. Absolutely, you seem to believe your opinion on a sound or an instrument is something that can be described as a fact, rather than an opinion. In fact you still seem to believe there is such a thing as a fact about a sound or feeling. Round he we don't accept anything as a fact until you end the sentence with FACT. Its the rules. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
