On my latest bass, well it's not mine, yet, there's a set of flats with only inner core of strings touching the bridge saddle. The strings are over 30 years old and not sure if the strings meant to be like that or they have been worn out.
Bought switch squirty cleaner from Maplin and pots work great. Very smooth, no cracking sound.
This bass needs no mods. It's fine as it is slightly battered with slightly cracked headstock. Oh hang on...doesn't it make it relic?
I've only done two videos. I mic'd up the amp with sm 57 and recorded the sound via interface in Ableton software. I then mixed the bass sound with the backing guitar track and did all the compression and mastering.
I placed a digital camera in front of me to record the motion and sound.
When I imported the bass sound and video into movie media maker I muted the sound on video and synced the two together.
I was toying with the idea of building a Steve Harris royal blue sparkle p bass. Luckily I found one here and since then I saw another one for sale. It's worth saving up if you're a fan. The bass is awesome and beefy.
Some people swear that drink taste better out of can than bottle and triangle cut sandwiches taste better than rectangular cut.
I prefer drinking bottled beer out of a bottle not a glass. Sure it tastes the same.
Cheers guys. You've been very helpful. My father in law is happy for me to have it but if this is worth a few hundred quid I want to be honest with him.
It's a tough one. Only the front pups volume button works when it pleases. The other two don't but I reckon with new electronics and either Seymour Duncan or aquilar pick ups with a high mass Fender bridge it will be a bad as.s bass
