    60s v 70s pickup spacing

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    I used to own a 70s spaced pickup jazz and currently own one with the 60s spaced pickups. Ok definitely prefer 60s spacing. It's less nasal and the string tension is reduced there, making plucking more comfortable (really!)

    Who did you see live last?

    Stereophonics - Utilitia Arena, Newcastle upon tyne last night. Superb all round gig, i.e.;

    • Great set of songs
    • Decent sound and staging (except the bass wasn't prominent enough)
    • Band looked pleased to be there and appreciative of the support
    • Good vibes from the crowd
    • 2 hr show

    Building Services Engineer (mechanical) I'm sure #MEP will recognise the title. I design heating, hot and cold water, ventilation and air conditioning systems mainly for commercial projects and industrial projects. Been doing it since 1985 and still enjoy it. Every project and design team (client, engineers, architect, structural engineer, quantity surveyor, project manager etc) is different.

    Neil Peart RIP

    Really saddened by the news. Never felt quite so affected by news of the death of a rock star. Got into Rush in the mid 80s and they've influenced me to this day. Amazed that Neil got though his own personal tragedies with such dignity. RIP.

    What song are you learning?

    I'm about to learn 32 20 Blues by Back Door as a new song to slip into our blues band live set. It's all chords, which will be the first time in my 35 year playing career that I've played them.

    I've read about Colin Hodgkinson on this forum over the years, but I never thought I'd end up plying one of his tunes.

    Wish me luck!

    Woah - steady on! Please don't generalise about homophobic attitudes in the Christian church. (Let's leave that for a new OT thread)

    I'm a Christian who plays bass and sings in a small methodist church alongside an electroacoustic guitarist/singer.

    Plenty of variety and I need to bring both rhythm and musicality to the songs as there's only two of us.

    Pino certainly played on Whistle Down The Wind which was the lead off single from the album (North of a Miracle) but I don’t think he played on any other tracks. 

    Pretty sure Pino did play on TTS - just looked at an old mimed performance of the song (on TV show Razmatazz) and Pino's part of the band with his fretless 'ray.

    I know it's  all down to preference but why are you changing the pups and preamp?  I must admit, I'm perfectly happy with the originals so I'll keep it like that, just curious as to what you don't like about them.

    I also have an elite (a white one) and love the stock preamp/pickup configuration. Loads of tonal range. Only thing i'm not overly keen on is the pick up blend which doesn't seem to have any subtlety to it.
