Clearing out bits or redundant kit. This is the original electronics and pickups from a mid-90s Ibanez SR885 5 string bass. From memory, volume, pickup pan, stacked bass/treble, stacked mid with frequency sweep. I replaced it with an EMG set up and remember being disappointed and underwhelmed and wishing I’d never swapped it out. I assume it all works still. Price includes p and p. PayPal or bank transfer.

BERNARD EDWARDS / CHIC - Le Freak / ISOLATED BASS
JJTee replied to Bart Funk Bass's topic in General Discussion
It’s those octave turnaround fills that always have me struggling. Very nimble fingers to get that octave note and return to the root as tightly as Bernard. And so consistent - super tight all the way through, with (according to Nile) it all done in one take with no punch-ins.- 16 replies

BERNARD EDWARDS / CHIC - Le Freak / ISOLATED BASS
JJTee replied to Bart Funk Bass's topic in General Discussion
And all to think that this song is the result of being refused entry to Studio 64, a couple of bottles of champagne and a sweary jam at Nile’s apartment. Oh, and a couple of very gifted musicians...- 16 replies

BERNARD EDWARDS / CHIC - Le Freak / ISOLATED BASS
JJTee replied to Bart Funk Bass's topic in General Discussion
One thing slightly puzzling me is that in a Bass Player article about the song, Nile Rodgers said Bernard plugged straight into the desk to record it (with the band playing live, together). Yet on this I can hear what sounds like a bleed of the track from some headphones. Any ideas?- 16 replies

Glorious. Seriously tight. Can hear the flatwound strings clearly during the bridge - that glassy harmonic edge.- 16 replies

Ok, here’s my stab at a GB v US team. GB more high energy, workmanlike; US, a bit more flare perhaps? 4-4-2: Alex James Burnel Wolstenhome Jones Lemmy Deacon Foxton Macca King Palladino Enthwistle V Collins Jaco Clarke Jamerson Prestia Flea East Edwards Burton Graham Dirnt

I’m going to put together a UK v US team at some point. All based on bass playing ability, rather than any athletic or football ability, obviously!
