Joe,
On the EBO thing, it's a great bass and the problem is not so much with the bass,
but with
the tuning keys. I don't know who makes replacement keys for it but there's the
tuning
problem. The reason for the "thump" sound is the short scale neck thing. The
longer the neck. the more sustain.
Sorry,
Did I say "memtion"? I meant mention.
Illiterate in Memphis, but at least I wash my hands after using the bathroom.

Ok, I have this great old Gibson EBO short-scale bass that I am very
comfortable with, played for years, except the dang thing doesn't tune
very well and it has that short-scale kind of "thump" sound instead of a
long sustain and high end like a P-Bass. Has anybody ever successfully

Blah blah Yeah, right, it's not of general interest, like vintage cereals g.
I daresay more of us have tasted Quisp than played bass. Otherwise an excellent post,
Jon.

Anyhow, I'm not one of those "gotta be a Fender" types, especially once you
get more exotic than a Precision, but for a basic bass, the P is awfully
hard to beat, and you really can spend about as little - or as much - as you
want.
Thanks, Jon, sounds real to me.

True. We've had Tele threads and amp threads that went on for days. Or,
you could just take it to the "fluff" list. On the fluff list, Joe, we
could talk basses and Texas

I think it has to do with the EBO necks being not very precisely made.
If I'm in tune in open E, then almost nothing else is.
Those Danelectro-style basses
Out of curiousity: Does anyone play Alembic (sp?) basses anymore? Or
Steinbergers? I always liked Steinberger's guitars and basses because
they stayed in tune.

I played one of those today and I liked it pretty good, but it still
doesn't have that long, unctuous sustain that I need for KRhodes new stuff.
Yeah, sustain is not what the Danelectro / Jerry Jones style ones are
about, for sure.
Seems like the P-bass is pretty irrefutable in these

Thanks, George, and Jerry, and all you poor bass playing bastards out
there. It is a tool of ignorance.
