LukeFRC Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 My first bass had two pups and an active preamp- my second which replaced it was a p bass. Just saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Bloody hell. I find the normal two knobs on a P-Bass enough to cope with during the chaos of a gig. In fact I'd prefer just an on/off switch. Or what about no switches at all, just a silent plug? Woo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, that's what I call switch-tastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ou7shined Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 They forgot to include on the list the literally infinite amount of different tones you can get from a single tone pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 1 in 1200 chance of sounding as good as it could. I like my basses with tons of switches, but not because of their tons of switches.

brensabre79 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Didn't Hofner do something like this in the 70s? 150 tones, one of them useable. I wonder if you get a little man to operate all those switches at a gig like you used to get with a Moog Modular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Those are actually instrument rehumidifiers, to correct warps and fret sprout from being left against warm radiators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3below Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 omg, my g&l sb1 is too complex, do not see why it has two control knobs, only ever use them full on in fact is the only way I use basses and guitars, all controls full on, am I missing something (and do not say brain,taste,tone,hearing etc. as I will be upset) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
