Ah, Marion Montgomery! Had the very great pleasure of being present at a recording session at BBC Scotland (about 1978?) when she recorded a number of song with the SRO. The SRO was full of the Glasgow jazz mafia. What a session. She was charming and completely without ego. My then girlfriend and I persuaded her to record a Michael McDonald song. Minute By Minute, I think. God bless Marion.

If I Ever Lose This Heaven, AWB version. For the fifth time..

There’s an isolated track somewhere on YouTube of Hugh McCracken’s guitar part on Hey Nineteen. It is a a subtle and sublime example of guitar playing. What a beautiful record Gaucho is, my lords.

Brilliant. Thank you.

I had an SR500. I didn't weigh it, but it was noticeably lighter than any of my Jazz style basses by a significant margin. Also the most ergonomic bass i have ever played. Just didn't look right on an old fart.

My bitsa Jazz headstock:

I used to use a Tech21 Fly Rig 5 to record guitar into Logic. Gave excellent results, and better than the rather scratchy sounding amp plugins provided in Logic.

Aldi sometimes have those easy-out things, a set for very little money. Try their website.

Very cool.

These basses have loads of bite. It takes a while to get used to the possibilities via the tone controls. Mine has more wallop than anything other bass I own, and it is completely standard. Personally, I cut the treble and boost the bass on this guitar. Try adjusting the pickup height, by the way, that can make a big difference.

Ah, McCormacks. The good old days. Old Mr mac sitting on a stool when you went in, watching, always watching....

I’ve got one of these. Brilliant bass, you will enjoy, I hope.

The preset buttons on mine stopped working. I opened it up, which was easy to do, and gave everything a good clean. Solved.

Have you tried seeing how they appear in the Audio/Midi setup app? I think you should be able to create a composite device from both of them.
