Your deeper Mids, especially on the low E, sound so bassy-punchy, more like Humbuckers. Are u using a preamp? Or how can that be explained?

Also, the pickup covers shield the bass amazingly well from interference. On my P-bass, with both covers on, I can sit within in a foot or two of my computer set up– which consists of my laptop, monitor, xbox, two power strips, and a bunch of other crap– and I hear only a slight hum, where as with my uncovered Jazz bass, the hum is louder than my playing when that close to that many electronics.

pick up covers are mainly for show and not so much a change in sound, it can add a bit of a twang and it limits where you can play on the strings which is what will change the sound

Haha. Your other comment got removed. It must have been pretty vulgar. First off, I am not a dog fucker, and I prefer vagina over dick. So your command for me to eat a dick will be denied, and no dogs will be harmed. I’m sorry you get so angry over such a benign comment. You need to chill out or your stress/anger will give you a heart attack. P.S. Again, Ed is a great reviewer and great bassist. Do you have any videos of your playing? I would love to see them…

I can see the excitement in his face.
Túl sokat vártam a válaszra, ezért már rég kidolgoztam egyet
try to figure it out by yourself. You can see his fingers moving and you can heard it well.

Can you give me a tab for the first bass line?
