I was just checking out your basses through the talk bass forum. Great collection and sweet tone and bassline! Did you make up that bassline or is it from a song? I'm going to purchase a 2008 American Fender P bass, do you think it's a good year?

@emosdieslow Hello there - thanks for that! The line a jam based on a song by my band - do a search for 'caffreys lambretta twins' - I don't have much experience with latter-day Fenders, but I believe the QC is better than it's ever been.

hi my friend....i'm searching to buy a 2x10 cab for my svt-3 pro and i'm thinking for Bergantino...what is your opinion for the cab???and what is the difference between AE210 and HS210...???

[jollybeggars]

Hello! It's a great cab... I have a pair of them, and I don't think I'll be changing them any time soon. They're compact, punchy and loud! I have no experience of the AE210 but I believe they're deeper and not as punchy.

Why not roundwounds? Ebony can stand up to it.

[jollybeggars]

Because I like flatwounds. Simples!

This is such a nice bass! Almost exactly what I want to get....

Tasty bassline as well :)

@PBasser84 US-made, and every one I've played has been worth every penny! I'm mostly a Jazz & Spector guy & my main fretless is a Spector Euro Bolt-On Lined Fretless 5-string, but after I get my "Dream Jazz Fretless" (a Mike Lull Modern 5 fretless - check out "Bryan Beller" here for some killer examples!) I may do the same I did with a "spare" fretted Spector EBO 5 and swap pups to the P/DC setup that the older "American Deluxe Precisions" had for a "Spector Precision Fretless 5" oddball!

it sounds like a huge monster

in a good way

[PBasser84]

Hi, thats a real nice sound, you got coming from the P-Bass. I've always thought about getting a fretless, since all my other basses are fretted. Is the Tony Franklin P-Bass made in the U.S., or is it like some of the other signature models, I've seen that were made in Japan?

i like the tone, but u need to practice more intonation...:P it would this perfect
