Buzz Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Is that an MM style humbucker I spy at the base of the neck? Quote
thisnameistaken Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 I'm glad you spotted that, I wasn't at all sure what we were supposed to be looking at. I thought it was something to do with the dodgy wallpapering around that radiator. Quote
Buzz Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 I think the wallpaper in general is cause for concern, all that money spent on basses and a lack of decent decor Quote

I chose a Willpower over a Model one,but kept the regular model P.....Still havent finished modding this Bass mind... Tonight I Bi-amp,just wondering if Ive enough cables.... Quote

ARGH Posted May 1, 2009 Author Posted May 1, 2009 Custom strings is the next...Im almost being courted... Quote

Like whale attracting frequency strings? Scallops I reckon! The one thing I could never suss was how to run a clean channel as well as evil distortion and The Model One whale bass. Quote
Jase Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 I got a Lakland P on the way, so I'm now tempted to try a bridge pup but still two outs....wonder what that's like, Dolphin bass as opposed to whale bass! Quote

The one thing I could never suss was how to run a clean channel as well as evil distortion and The Model One whale bass.[/quote] Scallops are pointless....Just install higher frets. Stringwise Its something like a 120-125 for the drop C tuning....then slightly higher guage for the A,D,&G. yes I know I could just buy a 5 string set and ditch the regular G,but I dont see the point. Im talking to a couple of people. The dist/clean,is in Sheehans case..I think from the Pearce thing he has,I dont think they make them anymore...I have an old signal chain diagram in an old issue of Bassplayer ..I'll have a peek. What happend to Pearce anyway? Im going to run the Fartbucker clean into a compressor...then Glock to a 1x15...and the split P goes to a chorus into the Tech21 into a 4x10. Quote

Adrenochrome Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Looks fun mate! I take it you get enough bite from the p pup to balance the mud? Quote
