I think there was in the 70's a bit of a gap between what you wanted a gig to be and what you might want a live album or film to be. Stuff that I sat through with glee in a field wasn't quite the same in the parents' living room or the local Odeon

Every time I listen to Zep I'm blown away by their creativity and work rate. Extraordinary talents

Have you checked the nut also?

Or Canterbury

Very much a listing of its era

Oh God, this is a thread that is going to run and run. My problem isn't the ones that haunt me because I didn't buy the item in question, but the sheer volume of those that haunt me because I did

More growl than bark I suspect?

Just downloading this now, wow does it make Pro Tools looks dated. Hope it performs as well as it looks

Indeed, it rather rang out didn't it Jack

The world is full of those people mate, all too often 'Positivity and the need to exclude negative people from one's life' translates as 'Narcissism and the need to exclude anyone who disagrees from one's life". Glad it's resolved

True point, my BB2024 was one of the few P/J's I've owned that really delivered, but whilst the tone with both PUPs mixed was glorious solo'd, I still tended to gravitate towards towards the P-PUP in a band mix. Probably more about the course than the horse however

Good man, I sold all my fretted basses and how have a Jazz FL with rounds and a Precision FL with heavy flats. I seriously don't need anything else to gig and record. There are lines I can’t play well on a fretted instrument that I can play well - perhaps better is more accurate - on a fretless, Rhythm Stick being a good example. Jaco always claimed to practice on a fretted neck and perform on a fretless because the former was slower and harder to play. I completely agree with him

I doubt Fender Precisions cost a whole lot to build these days either

Sounds a fun gig

Basschat summarised in a single elegant line of text

I think it's not the fact that the clipping DI sound can't be easily achieved even inadvertently, it's how it's used. He uses it well. Many bassists don't

I love the idea of P/Js, but despite lots of experimentation in practice and rehearsal, in live and recording situations I always end up using the P-PUP only. It's perhaps a function of the music I play and the ideal sound in my head of course, but I find the back J-PUP far more useful when it can be blended with another J-PUP than when blended with a P-PUP. Only exception for me has been on fretless perhaps, when a solo'd back J-PUP can come into its own (all my opinion of course).

I was never all that keen on these guys when I first came across them, but it's a funny thing, the more people appear to get angry at their success in threads like this, the more I like them
