    One of the first riffs I learned after I got my P Bass was Dancing In The Moonlight by Thin Lizzy. It’s one of my all time favorite riffs ever.

    Billy Sheehan, Steven Harris then James Jamerson. Used to only play jazz basses then switched and started to really love and appreciate precision basses. Billy Sheehan and the crazy sounds he got out of that bass was the big moment that made me take notice of them. Nowadays I love and appreciate the simple one pickup, one volume, one tone setup. It's like a telecaster it's a blank slate you get out of a p bass what you put in

    • @Cap683
      @Cap683 Рік тому +1

      I had one in the early 1970s. I think that there was a single coil pick up vs. split coil pickup and the fact that the Telecaster Bass was built like a tank gave it a sound that set it apart from other P-Basses. Wanting a faster playing instrument, I sold it sadly. That one piece maple neck was a beast to play. I remember that they also came out in paisley (so groovy).

    John Entwistle The Who Live at Leads. Was my initial inspiration.
    Bruce Foxton - The Jam. Once he moved from the Ricky’s.
    JJ Burnel- The Stranglers
    Roger Waters - Pink Floyd
    James Jamerson- Motown
    Steve Harris - Iron Maiden
    Duck Dunn - Stax (and the Blues Brothers)
    For me it seems all my favourite bass players use the Pbass. If it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me.
    Plugged into an Ashdown ABM and you have (IMHO) the perfect tone.

    I own: '89 Fender P lyte, '10 Fender Kingman acoustic, '21 Fender jazz, '24 Rick 4003, '24 Dingwall combustion.
    The Kingman gets most playing time, that is my home practice bass. Despite being "old faithful" and an incredible playing bass that IS the bar I have set for how a bass should feel and play... My P has not seen stage time since I found "the" jazz. All previous jazzes I've owned were #2 back ups till this one took the #1 spot. That #1 got pushed down to #3 the moment the Ding and Rick entered the quiver.
    All that to say, A P bass is literally the standard I set for what a bass is supposed to be. For near 30 years I could not find a bass that met that standard, let alone surpassed it. I'm in a very cool place to be able to call my old faithful a back up, and I will NEVER part with it.
