Stuff like 'Lucy In the Sky' or 'Mr. Kite', you know what I'm saying?

What era McCartney?
You could be talking anything from Hofner to Rickenbacker to Jazz bass.
If you're just looking at Fenders I've never seen him use a Precision so a Jazz would be the way to go.

I'm talking Rickenbacker era

Ok, I know it's a cliché already...

But let's go: I'd like a thumpy warm vintage tone. Less Jamerson, more McCartney....
And between fender J's and P's, what would you recommend?

Anybody have any extra information on Hofner CT President and Kay Pro Bass??

Like tone and stuff.

Youtube vids don't really help

actually, i love short scale, AND I don't want a back-breaking bass. I'm 15, and I'm not very tall.

But is a mustang REALLY small and light-weight?

Danelectro Longhorn, Fender Mustang, Gibson SG Standard.

Which one can give me a good ol' warm vintage tone?

Which one would you choose, and WHY?

Just so you know, I can't go out and try them at a local
store.

I live outside the US, and a friend is going there and I'll give him the money.

And what about the Lo-riders?

Can I get a p-bass with flatwounds sound, or something near?

What do DR Black Beauties sound like? Can they peoduce a warm, fat vintage tone?

Any other coated strings to recommend?

Sorry, I wasn't being specific... I was talking about a [b]bass guitar[/b].

Lightweight, fast-playing, fat-vintage-round tone?

All right, about retro sounds, like Paul Mccartney, Carol Kaye and Jamerson, which bass is better?

The SG's are surprisingly light, far lighter than Epiphone EB0's. But as said above, there are some massive differences between your two options, so just have a play of a few, see what feels right.

What are these massive differences?

Hey, I was thinking about buying a Fender 50's P Bass, but it's a bit heavy, and
I started searching about lightweight (and good-looking) bass guitars.

Then I found the Gibson SG standard, and I fell in love with it.
What do I do? So, the Fender or the Gibson?

Oh, and don't recommend original Gibson EB 3s and EB 0s, they're just
too expensive.

Clauster has a good point. I prefer the Corvette's shape to any of the Fenders, but all have good (but different) sounds.
I personally wouldn't go for any, as I think there are many better basses for around the £1k mark, But it's all down to personal taste.
Like ALG says, let your ears decide.

But what other basses on that mark would you recommend?

Anybody know the red bass on the video?

Hey, thank you all for the opinions.

I don't really like the relic too, but I was sort of
interested in the fiesta red road worn version.

Oh well.

Does anybody recommend other finishes on P and J??

Hey, bass brothers.

I'm gonna buy a new bass, and I came to my ultimate
decision (kind of).

It's Warwick Corvette Standard vs Road Worn P vs Road Worn J.

I'm new to the forum, so I would just like to know your opinion, and
what other bass guitars you would recommend.
