1956 Fender P Bass @ Tom's Guitar Shop

They’re not comparable. A Pollock isn’t about a technique (see Ed Sheerans Pollock-esque paintings), it’s the value of the concept and the execution. I’m highly negative about the vintage bass market, but these all original models genuinely are rare and obviously highly valuable because of that. I don’t think it sounds any better than any other single coil P bass but that’s me. -

It's built up over time, using successive versions of the same platform (The MOD Duo, then the first version of the DuoX, then the more powerful version - I've got a MOD Dwarf as well that I really need to dig into further, but it wouldn't run all of this!) - so the development has been near-daily tweaking of it for close to a decade! I've saved some of the iterations of it, but not enough of them! Every now and again I hear a thing I recorded a few years ago and have literally no idea how I got that sound 😆 -
Wow that is a lot! Mine is really simple compared to that, I think I need to experiment a bit more

In theory you could say that about a £100k Broadcaster too, and I agree that John does great work, I have one of his basses. Or a £45m Pollock painting, which, as an artist I could replicate in 45 mins. I’m pretty sure players/collectors don’t care for that though. Just saying. -
Probably the easiest Fender to replicate. As an eg, a Bravewood with the right tuners is pretty much indestinguishable from an original. Just saying.

here's the latest version of my pedalboard, all inside the MOD DuoX Every purple line is an audio path, and every blue one is MIDI. It's one in (though it could be stereo) 6 out (three stereo pairs). The parallel audio paths include an ambient path that's all reverb/delay, one that's all pitch-to-MIDI, and one that's glitchy weird sh*t. it's all controlled via a Keith McMillen Softstep and Quneo, the MOD Footswitch and two Dunlop mini expression pedals. The only additional outboard at the moment is a Dunlop volume pedal, a Dunlop Wah (alternate between the mini bass wah and the Justin Chancellor), and a Nordstrand Starlifter. -
Another jazz one rescued from my Sibelius folder that time forgot. Ray Brown playing very simply (for him, at least) on an F blues, almost everything sits in half position: Full transcription here: Ray Brown F Blues transcription

I would take everything that man says with a grain of salt. He’s definitely no expert bassist.

Could I just say how refreshing it is for someone to ask a question about actually playing the bass.

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
dmccombe7 replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
Our punk band kind of faded into non-existence. Gigs started to dry up and we ended up playing same places far too often so the audiences were getting less and less. The feel in the band was that there was a lack of interest and eventually we had a band meet and i made my point about the lack of interest and the BL agreed and that was kind of it. We all agreed that it was time to move on. No hard feelings and we all left as friends and still keep in touch via FB. When its done its done and best to move on but before you do it might be worth having a band meet to find out where everyone else is on it and what and where do they see the band going. Dave -

https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/fender-precision-bass/products/1955-fender-precision-bass-2-tone-sunburst-1 Nice video/sound clip of this very clean and original version sold this summer. For those interested in hearing the tone. (Bottom of the listing) I personally love these early contoured bodies, and this one. 😉
