  1. The pot that is closest to the outputs is a push/pull pot that combines the output from both pickups. You have volume/tone/volume then. The tone control only works for the woofer (neck pickup). The first pot (closest to he neck) is a volume control for the neck pickup. The middle pot is a tone control for the neck pickup, the push/pull function on that one is a high cut. The pot closest to the outputs is the volume control for the P pickup.The bass is a bit neck heavy but nothing that a good strap won't cure.

    I read that on talk bass the other day

    That was a six year old thread, started by someone who was told that by a music store that tried to sell him a bass quickly before "the production would move to Mexico". A lot of people jumped in after the bump to give their expert opinion, as usual on TB. ;)

  3. She claims to have played on many of the Motown hits that were credited to James Jamerson despite evidence and witnesses saying that Jamerson played those bass parts. She is a very good player, but I can't stand her because she wants to portray herself as more important than she already is.

  4. A friend of mine died of cancer two years ago. He had picked the music for his wake himself, some songs from a Dutch surf punk band. Definitely not the kind of music that you would expect at a wake, but when the first song blasted through the speakers everybody who was there smiled because they knew: that was what Peter loved. Play what and how the deceased and her family want you to play, don't make any concessions.

    For the record, the original bass owner has been discovered to NOT be deceased.
    He is alive and sharing stories of his days playing bass with Buddy before his death, and the Crickets several times afterwards.

    Great, now you can find out when the bass got its pink finish. I would laugh my head off if it has always been pink and the solder joints had nothing to do with a refinish but were a repair job.

  6. First bass: Yamaha RBX 200
    'Go to' bass: Squier Precision
    'Your' bass: Yamaha Attitude LTD II. Only got that one earlier this week but it makes all the right sounds. It won't be long before it will be my 'go to' bass.
