My vintage Musicman copy will always have a special place in my heart If only it were a little less destroyed, I'd still be playing it.

2.0 mm graphite picks, and 1.00 metal picks. I never use plastic ones anymore.

I just roll off the treble on my bass & amp. Neck pickup and plectrum do the rest.

Sounds like you may need to swap out the preamp or pickup. Broken-in nickel wounds would probably help, like alexclaber said. They do my L2000 a lot of favours in the tone department.

Nordstrand pickups really bring out the hollow, grindy P bass tone for me.

Guys, these are awesome! I need to get my MM/P project off the ground

I'd reccomend looking at Lakland and G&L, depending on your budget.

Beautiful axe, dude. I've been after a Tony Levin OLP for a while now.

[quote name='james_guitar' post='509123' date='Jun 9 2009, 03:18 PM']Before I get hate mail/private messages for this post; I know that using a plectrum on a bass is generally a taboo amoungst pro bassists[/quote] I've never understood this attitude. Not very proffesional to limit yourself. I almost always use a pick these days.

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='509125' date='Jun 9 2009, 03:19 PM']That's what I do best. [/quote] Heh, Interesting point about the neck dive though. I was considering buying a squire telecaster, hadn't thought about the balance issue.

G&L L2000 tribby. Hottest. Pickups. Ever.

Those are very cool Sweet bass, mate.

A bit of a pointless one, granted, but a cutaway nonetheless. I've never played a Tele bass, but I've noodled on my mate's hollow-bodied Tele-copy guitar. You have to put noticeable physical effort into holding the neck up, to the extent that it affects your fretting-hand technique. [/quote] Splitting hairs a little, aren't we?

ASAT basses are mana from heaven.

Black eyed Blonde!!!!!! Venice Queen and Don't Forget Me are lovely songs

The aphex punch factory gives a nice, subtle compression.

That's a sweet instrument dude, loving the dual P setup.

Cheers guys I'm not in a band, unfortunately. Haven't been since high school, which is a shame. Wish I was though!

Behold, the awesomeness!

Hello all, I'm Aaren. Been playing as a hobby for about 10 years now. Using a G&L tribute L2k thru an Ashdown EB combo amp, and loving every minute of it!
