    I like the look of this: https://dingwallguitars.com/bass/jacob-umansky-signature/

    It's when the E and A half of a split pickup is closer to the bridge than the D and G half. Regular way is the other way round.

    For Info, the Mk1 Barts often fitted in Ibanez and Cort are Reverse P in a Soap Bar... not my pickup Which might explain why they often score less favourable when compared to a Bart Full Humbucker Soapbar.

    Did Salvador Dali play bass?
  6. Nail Soup
    For anyone who doesn't know, could someone explain what a reverse P configuration is?

    In my now defunct punk & new wave covers band we generally played it as per the record, with the exceptions: Instrument not available - example we replaced a harmonica break with a guitar solo. DI not attempt to mimic the harmonica break. Fade-outs - made up our own ending, or copied from a live version by the original band. An improvised-sounding solo or breakdown... make up our own. Gives rare opportunity for creative freedom! But never changed anything because we think we could just improve on the original.

    Is the answer X=y^2 + 23 ?

    All this better tonal balance across the stringz, but maybe in the design time the halves were that way to reduce the bass boom of the E and Increase the treble bell of the G for a wider range of tones across the strings. Amps and Cabs in those days etc.

    Hi Dave, Here’s a little more info on the tipping culture over here. While we command a nice fee for a 4 peice, the tips just make the gig a little more lucrative. Tips can turn a $150.00 a man gig into a $200.00 a man deal. Tips are acceptable, actually expected by the venue and the punters. Here are our exceptions. We don't use the tip jar at Theatre gigs, charities or private events events. Obviously the Tips are much better when you're playing to the more affluent clientele. If you’re playing at Freddie's on Martin Luther King Blvd and Cherry St. there won't be any tips. You'll be more worried about if your car will still be there at the end of the night. Lol I'm getting my hair cut today and trying to figure out how much I can afford to tip my barber.lol The pic is my new AI band . Lol Daryl

    Agreed Mick, Whilst the SMX series added some useful bells and whistles such as compression and a blendable valve/solid state preamp, the Series 6 has a certain immediate clarity with clout never bettered by Trace Elliot.

    Just make sure no monies are owed, either way... or kit loaned, ìn or out.

    Logic suggests there should be a better tonal balance, experience (which in my case is a Yammy BB400 fretless & a Washburn SB40 P/J) doesn't really demonstrate much appreciable difference. I sold the Yam because I couldn't get the fretless tone I wanted with a P pickup. There's probably an argument for it on a 2x P, or any bass with the pickup closer to the bridge than normal, but I dunno. I quite like the look.

    My old band went through many iterations before I found it all somewhat exasperating and jumped. Reckon we may have got up to A (me, obvs), D (second drummer), H (third guitarist) and L (third singer) before things really hit the fan. L decided he didn't think D was any good and argued that we should try out ¥ (a drummer we all knew), to prove a point. So we did, but ¥ wasn't remotely interested in joining, but L thought ¥ would. A knew ¥ wouldn't. A knew D was a bit crap and H was on the fence, but L decided D needed to go and said A needed to tell him. So A told him. It was horrible for A. A then found a new drummer through Facebook (let's call him P) and he was a great player, although Ps raison d'etre was primarily for shagging audience members even while his wife was there. 'Where's P,' she'd say, 'Have you seen him?' L started to make life difficult for A, despite A writing the bulk of the material, and A left, eventually being replaced by Q, R and S, before the band imploded.
