Tim Chapple Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 [b][url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ_G3HYp0DE"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ_G3HYp0DE[/url][/b] [color=#333333][font=Roboto, arial, sans-serif][size=3]I wanted to illustrate how the bass sounds without any amp EQ - this is me noodling (excuse the odd bum note) and has been recorded direct into a zoom R8 recorder, and played with the tone either full open / full closed. You'll notice that even with the tone rolled off the bass still has a lot of edge in the sound.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Roboto, arial, sans-serif][size=3]It often sounds like a cross between a PBass and a Stingray or Rick.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Roboto, arial, sans-serif][size=3]1987 Peavey Patriot[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Roboto, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Made in the USA, Quality bass with a biting rickenbacker / musicman like tone from the mid position single super-ferrite pickup.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Roboto, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Mahogany Body - Maple Neck. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Roboto, arial, sans-serif][size=3]These are becoming rare and sought after instruments, especially in the UK.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Roboto, arial, sans-serif][size=3]Imported from the USA in 2015 - It has since been fully professionally set up .[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Roboto, arial, sans-serif][size=3]As you may know these basses are made with a two piece neck, and due to age this one had started to move a little - it has been removed, glued and set up. All sorted now by the Tech.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Roboto, arial, sans-serif][size=3]The pick guard has buckled (again due to age), but is in one piece (quite rare!). Neck is narrow and super fast and easy to get around on. Pots are a bit scratchy but work fine.[/size][/font][/color] Quote
