Maybe you'll find something there: http://www.doublebassfingertape.com/

There is a new member recorded on the 31st of January, but nothing newer than that...

Check these two "analysis" videos too:

I found this old article @BassByBeck, might be a very interesting reading for you and a good starting point to get that Mark King early tone: http://www.gazzbass.com/articles/articles.aspx?ID=5 By the way, don't worry about thread derailing, it's BassChat's signature. 😉

Especially when the gig wasn't that great... Happened to us a few times.

Utter bullshít bad marketing strategy: The transition logo appeared when the acknowledgement to sell or buy, depending where you are, the company was official, so very late 1964 to very early 1965, not 2 to 3 years before. 🤦🏻 Quite expensive for what it's not and I agree with the refinish, Tony.

Looks like good news @LeftyJ...

Take a photo, it will be easier to help you... 😉

I guess you mean wenge neck and/or fingerboard as a full wenge instrument would be so heavy... That said, I'm with you concerning tonewood. 😉

So, if I understand it correctly, Mark is using his Jaydees again nowadays, because he doesn't need an apostrophe. Right? Ultra pedant revenge. 😉🫨🤔🤦🏻😂

Following too.

I own a Producer backpack and I can put my HeadRush Core in one pocket and a huge laptop with a big A3 size book (yes A3) in the two inside "pockets" plus a volume control pedal in the side pocket, loads of cables and accessories in the front pocket, a smartphone in the other side pocket, ... so a lot of things. And it's easy to handle or wear on your back.

The original Fender Precision Bass had bakelite or even wood saddles...

I'm waiting patiently for the Apostrophe Police to come...

😂🤪

Mark is using his Jaydee's again nowadays, so check new footage as the quality will be way better. 😉

Happy Birthday @bnt !

Strangely, he was only using the bridge pickup with mids and treble quite high on the bass, and not that much bass there. The amp was quite the same. This allowed him to play slap and fingerstyle during the same "song" without bothering about the EQ.

Indeed, but the idea of Leo Fender was not really moding, but fixing an instrument by changing the problematic part with another faster than fast and not spending time on repair: a typical moto from the post war society and the consumerism.

No problem @Danage, I should have understood that as you mentioned it in your first post.

Did you use an MN taper type for the blend pot? It will be way more progressive than a non MN, and without the typical loss in the middle (indented) position.

That said it's quite funny that it looks like the first iteration of the Precision Bass headstock...

Just like some Mesa Boogie's, called Dual Rectifier for a reason. 😉

I think you are talking about the rectifier tube that could be replaced by a diodes bridge put in a plug-in device. There is one of the brand you mentioned @Dood .

Second option, but more as a line check, which should be more than enough, except if the band is an association of puerile egos...
