bassmandan Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 are you kidding?.... it's in shot for less than five seconds in the whole clip! after watching it a couple of times and trying to find the best point to pause and have a closer look I'm fairly certain it's not a G&L due to the fact that it doesn't have the signature 'point motif' on the bottom edge of the headstock...... beyond that I can't be much use I'm afraid, can't even really tell what colour the body is because the lights are coloured too!...... possibly blue? and definately a P-Bass of some sort.....

That brings back some memories - I used to have one just like that (with rosewood fingerboard) - sold it sometime in the 80's... It was a great little bass.

paul, the Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 That's certainly not the optimum dub tone. I'll have a look for a nicer tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Back in 1987 I bought a Wal Custom MkI (still got her 20 years later) - I had to sell the G&L and a really nice Aria to fund it... Once I tried a Wal everything else was just surplus to requirements....then I was quite happy for about 15 years until I discovered vintage Fenders!

I'll let you know next time I hear a nice dub example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
