Something like a P90. Very clear tone. No humming. Really nice for soft jazz to metal.
Even with the amp turned up to 11 and 'overdrive overload', they are super crisp. I put them through my mates old tube Marshall and I almost wet myself.
They have set me on the path to tone perfection.
Here's a bit of mine...
L to R: modified PBG Jazz bass kit; modified PBG TL-1 kit; Squier VM Jaguar; Fender 62 reissue jazz bass; Squier Bass VI.

L to R: Fender P-bass; Fender P-bass; Gretsch 5120; Relic'd Squier tele; homemade fretless bass.

Not shown: Maton TE-1 accoustic, Taylor T5, a Baby Taylor acoustic, modified PBG "Surfmaster" ST-1 kit, a Variax bass and a Variax guitar (open to trades/selling on both of these), homemade "Maplecaster" bass, Fender strat, 1/2 size double bass, a couple of ukes, a Cort acoustic bass, a lap steel - and no doubt a few more I can't find scattered around the house!
On the amp front, there's this SWR Baby Blue II for quieter bass work (I use an 800w Acoustic Image power amp with a Schroeder 212 cabinet for loud stuff).

And for guitars there's these two: a Fender Vibro Champ XD and a Fender Deluxe 112 Plus.

Chuck...that's some serious kit. Very nice.
nice collection Chuck and heaps more that weren't photographed. You definitely have a bad case of GAS.
If I had to take pics of my collection I would need to take the pic from the moon hahaha
My guitarist in Hydra Jeff Barnes got a Les Paul Recording when they first came out, sounded incredible through his big Marshall
My mate, who owned the Marshall, had just bought myself a new Gold Top LP. Although it still smelt wonderful and sounded great, i thought it sounded a little muddy next to the Recording. Didn't have the heart to tell him though.Quote:

here's my collection ... you can see I've only recently started getting GAS ... the herd will be growing over time!
I've lined them up in chronological order ... there's quite a bit of history here ...
from left to right ...
- Gretsch copy from the 60's that I learned on and played during my high school years, still gets the odd workout. It'll be the subject of a restoration project soon.
- Steinberger that I got in the 80's, and which is still my "go-to" instrument. Got played a lot in the 80's and 90's while the band I was in was gigging
- German made Warwick 6 string $$ Corvette that my family gave me as a 50th birthday present, weighs a ton, fun to play, really warm woody tone
- PBG 5 string fretless J, my first foray into the world of guitar building, and the realisation that GAS is a thing! Makes all those great mwah sounds, especially with a bit of chorus & reverb
- PBG 5 string P with a piezo bridge that I recently finished ...

Nice little collection, ThreeBBass. As you can see, there's lots of space left on the page to at least double the collection without having to put a photo on another line.
LOL ... I like your thinking Simon!Quote:
