tthiggins Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I think this is a p but it has a certain acoustic quality to it .the solo at the end (4.56) is killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonse Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Yeah, not the biggest fan of Thin Lizzy, but the tone on 'Live and Dangerous' is huge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewisK1975 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Is Kansas' Carry on Wayward Son done on a precision? I think so, but a lot of people seem to think it's a Ric. And here's a youtube Isolated Bass: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Dave Hope ever played a Rick, but he did switch to Steinbergers later on.

Twincam Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Classic P bass tone here! Stuart's guitar's a bit loud mind. Edited September 28, 2018 by Twincam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom1946 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 The only song I know from that lot is baggy trousers and I wouldn't know how to play it. Am I too old now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played it on all sorts of basses and it lends itself well to each different bass tone. Still best on a p bass though, i had a 96 fender usa special edition (the most p bass, p bass I ever heard lol) which nailed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbowskill Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Any future of the left song has the best sounding P bass imo . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Boots Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I know it's not a particularly fancy base line but I really like the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to get the action right so when you dig in the frets add to the tone. I think his D string is close to fretting out. A Marshall Super Bass on the edge of breakup helps get that bottley sound too. A well setup Precision bass where the action can go low is a thing to behold for rock.

Oh my word...Dat Growl...and a good example of EQ-ing for the band sound: I love Billy's tone in the band, but solo'd it's very harsh.
