70s Punk? Think you'd have a job to beat a P bass, both in looks and tone.

 

Probably covers most of the bass parts played in that era!

A beat up Precision.

 

 

And maybe a well-used Ric (but don't throw that one at a wall!).

There is something a bit disconcerting watching people in their 50's playing "Teenage Kicks". 🤔😄

Any bass will do, it's the attitude wot counts!

You still got your WAL bass. Is the ACG better to play ?

Wal is still the best, but I tend to leave it at home nowadays for value reasons.

But both the ACG and the Parker are excellent to play - ACG perhaps better but it doesn't half eat batteries!

The Sandberg even gets an occasional outing too...

Tried a Parker at a fellow BC'ers house when i delivered a Yamaha desk approx 10-12 yrs ago. Amazing bass to play, i really liked it.

I think it was @warwickhunt but could be wrong.

Had a WAL back in 80's and very nice to play. Not tried an ACG but i like the look of them.

Legend has it this works pretty good. P bass/Rick bass, fresh rounds, heavy plectrum, and the cherry on the top.... Ampeg SVT with "two" 8x10's.  Go on, slay em you know you want to.... Clang!
