I can't believe there are no owners of Pangborn basses on YouTube. Why? I, and I'm sure many people, would love to hear them. Does anyone have any info on the electronics and pickups used on them because they sound so sweet and unique. I want one!!!!
If anyone knows I would love to know if any of the Level 42 studio recording were done using one of those lovely Pangborns. Where can I get one, its a shame he doesn't make them anymore.
Great upload Ryan! Do you or anyone elso know what electronics were used in that custom bass? Its an alembic inspired bass, but dont seem to have alembic elcetronics. It sounds closer to a JD.
I don't to be honest ramon i think it was an Alembic inspired bass but on saying that so was the Jaydee.I think it was electronically closer to the Jaydee probably down to cost and affordability at the time.
If this is the same bass he used in the clip 'sun goes down' then he auctioned this bass on the "Veronica muziek dag" in the netherlands I believe in '87/'88 (not sure). A dutch guy bought it for FL10.000... would be around 5 thouzand Euros now not including inflation of course. Mark Rigned the top of the bode with a magic marker. Trying to find a clip of that on the tube, but no luck so far.
He also used it on the Lessons In Love video. Listening to the track now maybe he used that bass for that song? Its got a very crisp light sound....??? I can't find much info about the basses... I'll keep researching

One can see he was just starting to feel his full power as a bassist. This video makes me want my own time machine

Oops! Note wrong and funny glance. Well that proves he actually is human and not some sort of awesome alien bass machine.

Nice version of this. I like the sound of the Pangborn more than the basses on most of the versions of "Love Games" I've heard on YouTube.

Great sounding AP bass.
Crumbs! Look at the width of that neck, more like a five string then a four. Those were the days eh?
Thanks for posting.

Mark King has used Ashley Pangborn basses since the 1980s.
