Finished pics yet from the revamp? 🤓👍🏼

I have a LB30 playing through Ashdown 212.

have you thought of using a Gibson EB3 through it, or similar bass? 

I think my sound is really bassy, perhaps, therefore, can you swap bass and see if that helps you achieve what you are looking for?

cheers, great little amp anyway!

After a fairly decent start to building basses ( I’ve actually sold one, the walnut P to @Tullfan ) I’ve had a hankering to do more. So, this time I’m using swamp ash for the bodies as both will be painted.

Bass 1 - All black stealth looking P Bass, Status Neck and CS ‘62 pups.

Bass 2 - Lake Placid Blue, matching headstock and again CS ‘62 pups.

Both keepers and for specific band projects so they are needed. I’ve always wanted a LPB 😍 These are being painted properly by Dave Wilson who is unbelievably brilliant at all things bass, especially painting. 

Im sure I’ll be back on for more hints and tips. Anyway, a few bits of where I’m up to now.

Aren’t I a lucky guy!!

thanks for letting go of No1. Solid walnut! 😍

will give a proper review soon once I’ve given it some decent time in my hands! 🙏🏼

Will watch these next ones with interest and see who else comments.👍🏼 The chat is a great place to learn and no better place to be, for all this shared knowledge.

One of my favourite tracks! 💗

This tone is a P bass with flats. Volume full up, tone full up on the treble side. Lowish action to get that clank. Probably some foam to soften the edges.

A bit like Wilton Felder in his sessions, particularly this one.

 

 

 

Oh yes! What a great track this is too! 👍🏼 

Thanks Chris!

“Well, the whole of Jocee’s first album is my ‘71 P with La Bella 760FL’s:”

I think what I like from the Hubert track is how clean and forward the bass has been brought in the mix, it leaves the sound distinct. Alittle more like “Mistress” in the first album you linked! 👍🏼

Happy for anyone else to link their track with a similar sound to the Hubert Sumlin sound posted above, if you can break down what you are using and how your sound has been achieved. 

Cheers! 👍🏼🍻

Sorry for the slight thread derail, was purely to add some ‘P-bass with flats’ example to the discussion when asked 🙂

Si

Thanks for the examples, I appreciate your breakdown and specific examples for us to share. 🙏🏼

Great tune, im gonna explore more of Hubert!

Jimmy Page, the Stones, along with Clapton, were big fans.

try ‘woodchopping blues’ for a ‘you shook me babe’ inspiration, IMHO.

I don't think straightforward P Bass with flatwounds answers how the bass player gets that over driven sound on the fill before the start of the verse. 

I would suggest he's playing pretty hard and it almost sounds like playing with a pick but could be very hard with fingers. As for the bass, could be anything I would suggest but may be a Precision. 

Just the sort of extra help I was hoping for. Thanks drT

You gotta check out some of @Sibob’s “P bass and flats” recording work. Sublime playing and that toooooone!

Ok, I’d like to, where’s best? 🙂

Here's the bass player - 62 P Bass, D'addario Chromes and Fender Bassman, but who knows what he used in the studio.

Thanks Mykesbass for the link! 

I’ll chase up more of his work now!

cheers!

I love this bass players tone. I wonder if anyone can help identify what and how the bass player has achieved it. 

Equipment and settings if you can work it out would be great! ☺️🙏🏼

Thanks guys! 👍🏼

I practice in my church once a week and play there once a month. 

Our church building is octagonal with a pitch in the roof towering above the congregation. 

I use a Trace Elliot 150w combo and my Warwick Thumb 4 usually.

the congregation are mainly elderly and having a band as opposed to a piano, is a big step for them. I supposedly rumble a few pacemakers! 😄

I try not to upset too many of the oldies but add something that makes the young at heart praise Him more! 🙏🏼

Life is a balance and on balance I enjoy playing there. 💒

Hi, links don’t work!😕

Thanks Hiram, I’ll investigate further! 👍🏼

Hi,

I could be interested in this, what year was it made/re-issued, did you buy it new ?

Based on which 60’s bass?

...how heavy?

does it have a case?

any pics with ashtray covers?

How would you prefer payment, do you do PayPal?

Cheers!

Looks great, though as a non expert, neck stamp looks 78 rather than 73. Have you had it for a while? How much is postage to England UK?

Thanks🙏🏼

I couldn’t get either to work!

Could be me! 🤷‍♂️

',original pick-ups.'

... if I said you had a vintage mojo body, would you hold it against me?

... what's a nice bass like you, doing in a place like this?

...get your gig bag , you're pulled?

i have much more to say, but this seems to be going off topic now and I don't want to risk upsetting the mods. 

So, happy to chat with anyone in a pm, but I'll leave that here.

In the big scheme of things, he managed for millions of years without bass players, I'm sure he'll get by if one of them takes an afternoon off.

Haha, yes He will get by, and we do have a long future together 💗 ...but also, I wouldn't want to disappoint those looking forward to me playing.💒

Its ok though, it was just a suggestion, I too will get by without it changing, everyone else being happy is 👍🏼  .🙏🏼

😥 on a Sunday for the third year!

Unfortunately most gospel/church bassist excluded again.

🎶🎵💒🎸🎶

It does look like we are missing out on a good day. Can it not alternate Sat/Sun from year to year?🙏🏼

...Or perhaps, would anyone be up for starting a S.W. bass meet, for those who play on Sundays? 

I'm up for learning some new gospel fills.🌮🥒

Could be a Saturday in late Autumn, instead of Sunday in Spring?🤔

Download Harvest Festival ☺️

......Is this still for sale?
