Thanks. Love it too. But is there an explanation for the difference of sounds i get on the same amp with and without headphones? Is there a compressor or smthg that kicks in when headphones are used?

Fellaaaaaz & Fellazettes! It's me again! i have a question for U. Since we're at my Girlfriend's parents' for a few more days, i play the bass with headphones through my poopy travel amp (Blackstar Fly Bass, 3W) & through the headphones, without even using the EQ & Comp knobs of the amp, i get that awesome P-Bass sound & the tone knob really has a massive impact on the overall sound. When i play unplugged through that same amp, the magic is gone. & last night i was at a friend's studio, & it was the same: the P-bass sounded like any other random bass through the studio monitors (bass plugged directly into the DAW). What is in the tiny amp that reveals the Pbass sound? Will be back home in 10 days. Hope my Warwick combo gives me the same tone i have with headphones on the Fly amp...

Oh kewl, i have fender glats on my fretless, it's reassuring to have it suggested by someone else! Tooth brush, noted! I got myself some WD-40 on someone's advice, but i think Brasso was a better idea..

Hey guys! Thanks for all Ur replies & input! I'll see how the cleaning goes & might reach out the @KiOgon as suggested! Thaaaanks!

Fellaaaaaaz & Fellazettes! New Bass Day!!! I am delighted to let U all know that I finally got myself a Squier Classic Vibe Precision '50s Bass in Lake Placid Blue! Expensive but worth it! £440!!

Truuuuue! Maybe I should've mentioned him instead.... Humm...

Yeah it has to be Geddy Lee for me too! Amazing tone & tasteful playing on everything he's ever recorded (& even on live recordings on Youtube). Do U guys ever stop to consider what it takes to have such a long career & never make mistakes U'd be ashamed of later? i use the Rotosound Black Nylons on my short scale, love them!!!

Awesome! But is it not the whole website that's down?

i've watched six or seven videos so far, keeping Ur channel in my "favorites" bar in my browser for further learning ;°)

Hey there! Just found this post of Urs & i wanted to get the Peace Beyond Passion transcriptions but the link is not valid anymore i think... i just subscribed to Ur Youtube Channel & see U have a video titled Quick Licks #2 that i'm going to watch immediately, but i was wondering if U could share those transcriptions again ? Please?

Discovering Ur channel just now thanks to this post! Thanks a lot! Gonna binge watch those!!!

Hey Buddy! We spoke on IG about this bass! Happy to find Ur thread here! Thanks for taking the time to get back to me with all Ur info & sharing with the community!

Hey guys! i'll be in Coventry between the 10th of August & the 17th. Do U guys know by any chance if anyone is selling one of those basses second hand in the area? - Squier Classic Vibe Precision 50s Lake Placid Blue - Squier James Johnston Jazz Bass - Lake Placid Blue - Greg Bennett Royale RLB-4 - SX SJB75 Trans Blue - Squier Classic Vibe 60's Jazz Bass Daphne Blue - Squier Vintage Modified 77 Jazz Bass in Sunburst or Black

Oh whoa @SpondonBassed, thank U very much! Will look into those soon!!! Thanks a lot!

Okay Thank @mangotango! i actually spent a good half hour watching a bunch of Youtube videos about those basses, but the slim neck, & the general sound and aspect of the bass is not what i'm looking for. If i could, i would just get one of those Lake Placid Blue Squier Classic Vibe 50s Precisions that are now super rare & "expensive" (for my pockets anyway). The Lake Placid Blue of these Enhanced basses is not the same, the body shape is not my thing, the slim jazz bass neck either... i'm looking for Pbass maple neck, passive, just one pick-up so that if i decide to upgrade it, i don't flip up too much lol.. i've never done this. i'm pretty good with my hands, good with the normal set up of my basses & dealing with minor issues, but i've never messed with the electronics. i'd like to do the copper tape isolation thing in the cavity, get a super good, clean sound. But i'm really struggling to understand how pick-ups work, the whole parallel/series wiring if i get something that has two pick-ups, the "ground" wires (where to connect, why, how?) ... i'd like to have something simple that i know inside out! Thanks for the suggestion though, i admit it was very tempting!

Hi there! Why so sarcastic? ;°)

Hey guys!! Thank U very much for the warm welcome! I've considered this bass, it does have some features that I really like. Have U tried it? Do U own one?

Dear BassChat community! i just signed up! i'm an independent musician who's released a few things here & there between 2009 & 2012, then quit music for a few years & came back to it in 2015 through guitar. Then i started focusing on bass from 2016 onwards. So i wouldn't say i'm an awesome musician but i'm a serious amateur who is desperately trying to get better! i've owned a couple of expensive instruments but i definitely feel more comfortable on budget basses. i currently own & play a Harley Benton BZ-6000 (active, 18V, 6 strings, neck-through, super heavy bass, essentially for composition, chords, looper stuff) & an Ibanez TMB30 (passive, short scale, with Black Nylon Flats, for vintage baselines). i also own a Vintage V74MRJP (passive fretless, flatwounds, Road Worn Jaco-like finish) but don't have it with me currently as i recently moved to Spain & will get it back from Paris over the summer. i'm a huge Neo-Soul fan, love classic Soul & all its variations. Jazz too, although i'm not able to play any of the songs that belong to that repertoire yet lol. The Sevilla scene doesn't even know these genres exist (i mean, sure, they've heard of Jazz... a little bit) so i haven't joined any band yet. i am composing and recording for other people, here & in Paris, using my own DAW, & i also release my own stuff as outtaseezun. Anyway, i'll be going to Coventry & Birmingham over the summer. Don't know if some of the members of this community live nearby, but i would love to know where the best places are to get a new or a second hand bass. i'm thinking either a low-budget precision to paint Lake Placid Blue (Harley Benton PB-50 to mod later?) or a low budget semi-hollow. i'm currently G.A.S.sing over the Greg Bennett RLB-4 but can't seem to find much about it. Anyways, thanks for reading through!
