Low End Bee Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I got myself a new Retrovibe Rick/Music Man mash up for a very reasonable £249 a couple of months ago. I'm so taken with it I'm going to give it a gig outing at the Half Moon in Putney tomorrow with the Jetsonics. I've now realised that I haven't used anything but a precision since I was 15 in 1979 and was toting a Shergold Marathon which I then traded against a 69 P. I did have had an 18 year gap in playing. But it's still a long time to be using just the one style of weapon. This is doing no good to my pre gig superstition. But I've made the decision now.

retroman Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 WOW! Wish I could find one bass that I was totally stuck on like that! That's quite something. The only bass that I keep going back to that I have owned a lot of years is my old Ric 4001. P Bass lust has eluded me so far, but maybe one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shire Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I'm looking forward to my first gig with a P! I'm sure you'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) In all fairness, your Retrovibe may [b][i]look [/i][/b]like a Ricky ... but it [b][i]sounds [/i][/b]like a P. Very cool bass, though. Edited January 6, 2011 by Happy Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low End Bee Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 No problems at all. Very in your face tone this thing's got. Not as comfortable to play as the Precision but sounded spot on in the mix. The band photographer was away so no pics yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
