The best part is that they asked me for a D.I. 🤨

Thanks a lot!! I must admit my part of that bass rig is just the sideways ABM500rc Thanks a lot! Fun fact: I had no idea about how Billy Talbot's gear looked before posting this bass and reading people talk about him! Haha

Hi! I'm currently using a P bass I made up with parts: the body is laquer finished alder by an Italian luthier I scored used, the neck is the Fender replacement part 51 tele neck I got new on discount, the pickup is a Re'62 I had since 2011 I think it plays and sound great for the expense!

I went pretty rad! We had the chance of playing a very nice underground festival of our area; we had a technical issue (the guitarist's tuner broke during a song and killed the signal) but overall we had great feedback!

I'm actually listening to my band's newest release, Muffling! I'd love a feedback as we put a lot of work into it!

Hi all! Today my band released our second single, Muffling! I truly hope you'll enjoy!

Thanks a lot for the feedback!!

I love my ABM to bits. I bought this EvoII Rc 5 years ago, it's a 2008 model. After gigging it with a cheap furry Chinese case that I got for about 20€ I bought a Gator case for it in 2020. The weight is more of course but it has fallen two times with no damage and I think it looks good as hell. Having bought the 3 space tack version, I managed to mount a small power strip to power the head, the pedalboard and the Mooer Radar with a single socket, I also store all the cables I need for it in the remaining room on top of the head. I play with my P basses and a Gallien Krueger CX 210 cab, at times I also use it combined with the CX 410 cab.

Thanks a lot!! It means a lot to us!

Thanks a lot!!!! We aren't on radios yet but we're looking forward a few interviews in local ones! And yeah we're pretty lucky to stare at Italian shoes hahaha

Goodday Basschatters, Today I'd love to share with the community the first single of my current main project called Kodaclips. We got inspired by bands such as DIIV and the early Smashing Pumpkins together with a hint of my bloody valentine and will release our first album in September. This is our first single, Drowning Tree. Hope you enjoy! Drowning Tree by Kodaclips

Thank you so much!!! It means a lot!

I'm so proud that I'm actually listening to my band's first sinlge Kodaclips - Drowning Tree

That's what I'm talking about!! I had no idea I pretty much made a replica of that bass. any other example?

I actually didn't mention (I'm dumb) in the thread title, any split coil with the '57 body & Tele headstock around? That's the very precise thing I was looking for 😆

Goodday all, I was wondering if there was already a thread dedicated to such hybrid basses and I found nothing, so I thought about starting a discussion. I own a Fender replacement tele/51 bass neck that was sitting on a Classc Vibe Squier body; I found an Italian relic split-model body and decided to try making them fit, since I really enjoyed the Fender neck but not quite much the tone of the overall bass. Being the body I found used and off-brand I decided to butcher that and keep the neck original, slapped a Fender re'62 pickup on the body and filled the missing parts with leftovers from past years coming un with this: The relic laquer body feels greats and incredibly resonant, the neck is and always has been simply amazing, the pickups are the same I've been using the last 12 years on my main bass and I love them.. This thing turned out to be a killer instrument and I look forward to make the body way more reliced with some real life playing. What's your take on this combo? Has anyone got anything similar?

Of course one more option is always useful, but what I meant is that having a cab sim in chain before the cab is IMHO not truly useful as a preamp or Eq would work better in that situation, but of course if the cabsim is out of the chain providing signal to DIs, mixers and FOH that's a great value and I'm the first using it that way, cab on stage with me and sim to the mixer

My choice has been the Dunlop Gator .71, been using that for years on both rounds and flats: I played on flats with that pick both alternative rock on a Jazz with Chromes and stoner/desert rock on a P with Rotos 77 tuned in C std.

I actually haven't played a PJ that I truly liked, but I didn't try many. I really love P and J tones and when I had a PJ in my hands I was maybe expecting just too much.

There isn't much point in putting a cab sim if you do have a cab to sound from, but I'm currently using a Mooer Radar with great results. I connect my ABM's DI out (post-eq) to the cabsim (set only with cab and eq - just a high pass filter matching my cab's response, no preamp in the pedal) and go straight to FOH. I had the IRs of my very own cab made in a studio and it's really great. I mounted it all in the back of my head's case.

I actually love those dark shy colors. The walnut-y one (not the reddish) is great IMHO.

The body shape looks really cool on bass, but the standard Fender headstock shape seems oversize compared to the sleek body. A tele-style or an unholy (for a Fender) Peavey T-40 style headstock would have matched that body much better IMVHO.
