thisisswanbon 75 Posted October 1, 2018 You'll undoubtedly have seen Scott Devine on the old youtoob, but I always all in love with precision basses when I hear him play one, then play one myself and fall out of love with them just as quick. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Japhet 1,516 Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) I like the sound of this lowly Squire Classis Vibe and love the way this bassline builds up from very simple to a classic walking line. Edited October 1, 2018 by Japhet 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LewisK1975 252 Posted October 1, 2018 7 hours ago, Muzz said: 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. Absolutely true. I'm a huge fan of Billy Sheehan, and I've got an Attitude 3 & Helix too. I got a great Billy-alike patch created & shared by a chap called Jon Willis on the Yamaha Attitude Facebook page. You're absolutely right, solo'd the sound seems WAY over the top. BUT - when you use it in the right song context, it sounds AMAZING. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andruca 95 Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) John Decon has definitely produced some of my fave P-bass tones. As he has already been mentioned, I'll add Peter Cetera, my closest second. Edited October 2, 2018 by andruca 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is track that made me pick up a bass...15 seconds in... 😁 This was THE sound that made me fall for the bass. Great track "hanging around" and I felt so pleased that a while after learning "Peaches" I learned how to play "hanging around" and "Princess of the Streets" - great intro on that last track! In fact, JJ's bass sounds fantastic on the whole album. After an absence from playing (for ages) a return to this album gave me P bass GAS all over again Never heard a P bass sound quite so good 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a Fender P and its ok, but not my favorite bass sound, my jazz and spector sound better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve seen them twice - the first time I thought some roadies had walked into the stage and played an impromptu set, the second time was life-affirmingly good.

Graham 715 Posted October 6, 2018 I really like the bass tone on this album I'm beginning to think my ideal tone would be a picked P, but played with my fingers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fleabag 6,453 Posted October 6, 2018 One of the ultimate P bass tones from John Wetton ( RIP ) through HiWatt guitar amps, so he said. Live, , well back in the early 70's anyways, 2 x 100 watt heads Get under your headphones. This is awesome 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
