[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1485965037' post='3228088'] The pickups have a lot to do with why these are so good. Those QP's sound so weighty, I have a P with them in and it's always getting compliments. One suggestion from experience- some people find them a bit much in certain situations and they end up replacing them. If you ever find them over the top, just back off the volume on your bass a bit, they end up sounding like a normal P pickup. [/quote] I could never quite get on with the Quarter Pounders. I replaced them with a more vintage sounding SPB1. Apart from that, My Nate Mendel is my most played bass.

[quote name='uk_lefty' timestamp='1485950525' post='3227908'] I don't understand what a tug bar is for? [/quote] This is the 1962 P Bass used by Greg Lake. Note the tugbar under the G string. Bassists back in the day used to grip with the index and middle fingers while plucking the strings with the thumb.

There was a you tube video of a Beach Boys concert featuring Brian Wilson using the tugbar on a 1960's P Bass posted on here a while ago.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1485935027' post='3227757'] Never really got the issue with blokes doing songs originally by women or vice versa. Tina herself did it with Proud Mary. Obviously there are very gender specific songs that wouldn't work. [/quote] The Shirelles had a song called 'Boys" The Beatles covered it and got away with it too!

Does it have to be a bass? There are a plethora of excellent quality amps and cabs and combos out there too.

[quote name='squire5' timestamp='1485202050' post='3222092'] Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull fame became a salmon farmer up on the Isle of Skye.He owns a large estate there. [/quote] His son in law is that bloke from tellys' The Walking Dead.

Matchstick and a bit of glue worked for me.

We used to open with Lenny Kravitz Are You Gonna Go My Way, but have recently started the set with Pretty Vacant.

[quote name='Zombie1965' timestamp='1484960447' post='3220099'] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]Right over the pickup for that standard "P" sound, but I move about a bit for certain genres. [/color][/font] [/quote] Exactly this ^

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1484990846' post='3220174'] It might be helpful if you actually post some words rather than simply quote somebody's post? Or am I being incredibly old fashioned? [/quote]

Fleetwood Mac - Behind The Mask. Released in 1990 after Lindsey Buckingham quit after the million selling Tango In The Night. They had to get two guys in to replace him. It got panned, but I think its great!

Thumb over the pickup of course. (Unless I play with a pick)

Blonde On Blonde or anything by Bob Dylan. When I first heard Rainy Day Women I thought it was on the wrong speed!

Great addition to the CMD 121. I always turn the tweeter down low on mine, but then again, thats my personal choice.

[quote name='Muppet' timestamp='1484640568' post='3216987'] I find it great for recording too - very tight bass sound that delivers results. [b]Do you know what microphone your engineer used? [/b]Every time I've been in a studio the engineer has always taken a mic and DI feed. [/quote] [b] AKG D112[/b] Actually a bass drum mic. http://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/AKG-D112-MKII-Kick-Drum-Microphone-with-Flexible-Mount/18Z9
