Kiwi Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 [quote name='simontdo' post='90229' date='Nov 18 2007, 01:04 PM']Its home and I've hardly put it down. I told Jon I wanted something that sounded like my 78 P bass but played like my stingray. Well so far it sounds as good if not better than The P Bass, Its got the extra Jazz PU to give me a bit more flexility and it plays fantastic! Way better than the stingray. It even slaps better (not that I undulge in much slapping - just Areoplane in guitar shops ) I've only tried it on my practice amp at the moment. Can't wait to unleash it on the Ashown rig in the week :wacko: Compared to the P Bass, its as light as a feather too.[/quote] Nice result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Looks fantastic mate! How are Jon's Precision pups? Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simontdo Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 [quote]How are Jon's Precision pups?[/quote] At the moment I've only tried it though a 60Watt fender practice amp so it's difficlut to say. Jon's got my P-Bass at the moment so I can't make a direct comparison. I would say they are very similar, maybe a bit more punch. I've got a practice on thursday with my full rig, so I'll let you know then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I'm only asking because i have a DiMarzio in my Precision, but its a little bit TOO hot. So some possible options might be Jon's pups or a Wizard vintage style one. Looking for great tone, but a similar output to a Fender Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si[/quote] Mine's a custom made overwound passive one, same spec as the JJ Burnel P bass he makes. Mine has a loud fat sound .. Very diferent to my Fender MIA bass that I had before. It's a fatter sound with more overtones and harmonics. So IMHO, much better... but then I woudl say that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simontdo Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) [quote]How are Jon's Precision pups?[/quote] Fantastic! Tried it though my Ashdown rig last night and it sounds nothing short of amazing I'd agree with OldGit, The Precision Pups give a really fat sound. When I play finger style it sounds like the best P Bass you've ever heard. When I play with a pick it justs ROCKS! Not suprisingly, it sounds just like JJ Burnel's sound on the last stranglers album. What I didn't expect, is that with a bit of the Jazz Pup dialed in (that's overwound to the same spec as the P Pup) it has the fattest slap tone I've ever heard. Its just a shame I'm crap at slapping Although I have the feeling I'm going to improve now Edited November 23, 2007 by simontdo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
