The craftmaship was awful but the sound was OK. That's the important thing. If it sounds good, is comfortable to play and importantly - you like it, then that's your bass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cool bass for sure, but I don't like the split coil pup. A mid 50s Fender has to have a singlecoil pup. But that's just me, the vintage nut.

Unfortunately... I went to try that bass, I ultimately went with a Bravewood my friend was selling, but it was very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbass Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 On 19/02/2018 at 14:11, discreet said: The belief that a bass sounds different depending which wood the body is made from (tonewood), is largely risible IMHO, but in my experience the chunkiness of a neck does seem to have a bearung ob tobe. I'm sorry, I have a cold. Totally agree. My baseball bat 71 had a rounded vroom to the tone that I cant find in any modern P at all. Those fat old necks are 80% the tone IMHO. And if might add. If you ever see a Duncan Designed PU out of a VM P, snag it!. They sound big and bold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panos Bobolas Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 So I have to trade my USA 60th Anniversary Pbass with one of the following: a) Sting signature (JAP) b) Squier JV '82 (why they are so expensive!?) c) Mike Dirnt Signature (MEX) d) Classic 50s Precision (MEX) e) No trade or sell and just use Thomastik or LaBella flats Any thoughts?

Maybe try La Bellas on your existing bass first, as that's the easiest option? Could well get you close enough.

hooky_lowdown Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 La Bellas or Thomastik will give the fat Motown sound. If you want a little more of a Rock tone then D’Addario Chromes would be the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
