I hate the high tension and feel of flats. When I first started playing bass in the early 1980's flats had all but been superseded by rounds. I did try a set of flats a few years ago just to see what they were like, but took them off after a few days and went back to rounds. Incidentally, I bought a Limelight 63 P Bass off of Discreet last summer which he had fitted with La Bellas. I took them off and posted them back to him. He was most pleased.

Early Madness circa 1979/80. the first two albums were always on my record player when I was 15. Great melodies and jaunty songs. Lost interest in them when Driving In my Car came out. I thought they sold out.

I must confess to being an owner of a lightly reliced Limelight. Anything like that Strat above is far too much. (Unless you are in a Rory Gallagher tribute band)

Oh dear. It looks like another Adam Clayton thread in the making.

Didnt she marry the drummer?

Fender Mustang short scale I think.

My lot want to do a cover of Figure It Out, but as its all done on bass with a plethora of effects, I'm not sure how we can rearrange it for two guitars and bass. How did you guys make it work in a band situation?

George Harrisons version of 'Got My Mind Set On You.' I didnt know it was a cover, I thought he had written it himself.

Yesterday Once More by The Carpenters. Karen Carpenter was a drummer apparently. I didn't know that.

Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon. A secret cheesefest.

Oh yes! A great, powerful rig but small enough to fit in the boot of a Ford Fiesta.

Johnny Depp. Although not widely known for his bass playing, he is definitely cool!

[quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1486243618' post='3230362'] Has anyone actually opened one in your area in recent years ? [/quote] No. Just the opposite. We have lost 2 in my part of West London in the last year.

[quote name='therealting' timestamp='1486202481' post='3229985'] Do these have a nitro finish? [/quote] I believe so.

Jet Harris was cool nearly sixty years ago.

Is that a C neck profile?

Have you got a Lemonrock page?

I have had a couple of Mexican P Basses and they were OK. My Nate Mendel however, knocks the spots off some US Fenders.

Blimey! Those sharp edges could have someones eye out!

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1485973284' post='3228187'] There are occasions when they can be a bit too much. Did you not find turning the volume down a bit got you in the same territory as a normal P? The QPs are so loud that even if you back off a bit they're still loud enough, but they get a bit more into traditional P territory and lose some of that heavy thump. [/quote] Hmmm, not really. I had to play a wide range of covers with a varied set of tones. I found it easier to get a more vintage sounding pickup and experiment a bit with effects etc, than to try and harness and tame the QP.
