    The circle of GAS, and how to get out of it (P-Bass content)

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    The grass is always greener on the other side. The problem is, when you get there, it’s often the same grass as you already had. You have a good vintage bass, unless there’s something inherently wrong with it, replacing it with another one doesn’t seem a great move. You obviously have a great chassis in the Sandberg, why not swap out the electric components for something more to your taste. This way, you have a nice vintage bass and a backup that you’re happy with and can take out when you don’t feel right taking out the ‘71.

    That's a flight case for an airplane hold? Not being sniffy - just doesn't quite look how I'd expect it.

    I wouldn’t have thought so, but it did get a lot of love in the aforementioned thread as an improvement on just a gigbag. TBH, I really like those semi hard cases and they can take quite a lot of shock loading, the one I had for my Ibanez was really good and, IIRC, this is the kind of case that Sadowsky provide as standard.

    How far would you go?

    I was recently received an invitation to join a band, which I accepted. There was a gig booked not too far from me (I’m about 30 minutes north of Perth, in Scotland), which I have been preparing for. I was then asked if I might be available for a string of booked appearances (these aren’t proper gigs) that I wasn’t asked about in terms of availability previously. They bounce up and down the UK (Edinburgh oneday, Brighton after, then Exeter, you get the picture) and I’d have to get there under my own steam. I said I’d struggle with some of them, which I thought was up front and honest. A day later I was fired for unavailability and that I should be able to go anywhere, “At the drop of a hat,” I feel well out of it and that a bullet has been dodged.

    What signature model bass would you say transcends the artist?

    Not quite, they were modelled after a particular bass JMJ owned which he wanted to be replicated as close as possible. He preferred the pickup in this bass to others he had played, and this was replicated by Seymour Duncan for the production model. Also the headstock is noticably thicker than is normal for a mustang bass which is an idiosyncrasy of his original one. There were several prototypes made until he was happy to sign off on it. I believe the only thing he was disappointed about that Fender wasn't able to include on the production model was that his original bass has a thin curved 'veneer' fingerboard, however the factory was not geared up for this so the signature model has a slab fingerboard.

    Interesting stuff, I had no idea. But to look at it doesn't scream signature model.

    Since moving, I have had nothing but good service from Evri. Due to poor, past experiences, I’m amazed every time it works just as it should now.
