Dood

I have over 350 review videos in Guitar Interactive Magazine - which is a free mag every month delivered to your inbox (subscribe for free) . http://guitarinteractivemagazine.com - a lot of the video reviews are also shared on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/iguitarmag My own YouTube channel, I had planned to start working on but life has a habit of getting in the way. You can find it at http://www.YouTube.com/DanVeallBassist and I would really appreciate some subs. For those who like a tech read, I write every month for Bass Player Magazine in my own column called The Last Note. Anyone wanting video demos, voice overs or reviews recorded, well I can do that too and I'm freelance and well cheap inquire within, as they say.

It's a beauty! I love it!!!!

And here is current "Dood" from that very session recording the SH-1 review. It's a 1976 precision, Ash body and a very skinny slip of rosewood for the fretboard. I'm gonna have to agree, I'm in the "black pick guard" camp, even though my passion for natural P basses does stem from John Deacon's sunburst model that he stripped the finish off. He left the original tortie guard on it all the way up to the point of having the refinish in black with gold hardware around 1985. (Yes John did also have a second precision that he stripped the finish off too, which is often identified by having a silver Fender logo rather than the black "TV script" style logo of what became his "main" bass.

This is my first natural P bass that I stupidly sold about 25 odd years ago and apparently lives in a studio in Suffolk somewhere. If anyone sees this bass, please let me know!! Note the pickups and the holes drilled near the E String.

I am genuinely touched! I've been having really rubbish day today and this has absolutely brightened it up. Yeah, still have a leaking sink and my To Do list is longer than my arm and I can't remember what free time feels like, but this.. THIS! has made my day

I played a fairly large outdoor gig before lockdown where the hired "professional" PA company "mic'd" my cabinet. With an SM57, a good 15" away from the cabinet edge, off axis. I wished that they had DI'd, especially as I had clearly explained why the DI would be a better option. I forget the name of the PA company, maybe that's not a bad thing. Don't even get me started on their "IEM" mixes lol..

That's a great spec' and pretty much what I would be asking for too! Congratulations, it's going to be a top notch bass!

In a weird way, I actually like it. Not sure what that says about me, but I'm open to seeing if its something you can just spin round in your lap at an acoustic gig and be playing guitar or bass. - I've played quite a lot of acoustic gigs where space was such a premium that we had nowhere to stand instruments when they weren't being actually played!

Yup! Solder both conductors to the Tip. For extra measures solder the Ring to the Shield.

You can do that, or make use of it and solder it to the other signal conductor. - in fact, if you can get in to the stereo jack , just solder the Shield and the Ring together with a blob of solder at both ends and you won't even need to buy Mono jacks.

Blimey, how did I miss that! (for more reasons than one!!)

I’m with Bob, it depends on the colour of the bass. Still can’t understand why we’ve not perfected white hardware yet. It’s been about 30 years since I first asked why it hasn’t happened yet 🤣

I'll share the link as a status too as I am sure we could all do with a bit of inspiration right now eh? I've not hit play on it for a while so I think I'll be doing that next!

No problem! It's a collaborative playlist so if anyone has missed a great example, it can be added too!

Not sure about this FMT, but has the more usual Fender headstock.

If only Fender had released a hollow bodied bass in the past.... #FenderHMT
