I bought a older ATK 300 15 years ago. I bought it because I had the cash and the Bass Player guy on You Tube Pudsy440 rocked this Bass and I thought I would want it. I never took to it nor really like the tones I get out of it so I just sold it to a Metal Head about two months ago. He loves this Bass so it will be played and that is what matters. Im a Groove player mostly. I Kinda miss the ESP Bass I had but Im thinking of trying out a Ibanez Sr model Bass. In fact I will buy one this year.

Make it so you can slide the pickup back and forth like on a gibson grabber!

I've had this bass for 20 years and I love it. I will say it does take some tinkering on the amp to get the tone right, but once you do it hits great. Hilariously the thing that helped the most was the LMB-3. I run that and a CEB-3 to to thicken up the low end and I set the limiter to take out the high portion of the chorus and chefs kiss.

How is the tension. Very low?

Is it routed to fit a 5 string p bass pickup on the neck ?

Every EMG pickup I've seen had the EMG brand etched into the cover. The covers on those are not removable either. So what pickup is this actually?

I just bought a bass like this two month ago, modded with a pair of EMG MMCS and P5. Vol blend bass treble 18V. The pair of 9V batteries are under the pickguard and got a "window" from the front, made of the pickguard, bolted with two screws. Elegant and clever mod. The sound is amazing.

Those basses look awesome. Too bad it stops there.

That didn't sound as bad as I might have thought

I need to know why this has J pickup configuration

Nice looking/ sounding bass! Great demo!! Can you tell the weight and string spacing please? I found one of these tonight - quite cheap and I’m thinking about getting it now. Yea - your demo sold :) Thank you 🙏 🙏🙏

Thx for posting, nice walk. Thinking about trying these if you have any other feedback/observations!

Is the G string durable or does it break?

Hey! That is such a lovely bass, what is it? Cheers :)

It looks exactly how it sounds, not sure that’s a good or bad thing.

Oh I always wondered how they do that stuff, so the key is the really low bass position? I'll give it a try, thank you, great video!

Hey Pete. Just saw this. Congratulations! I’ve had a ‘15 since they came out. I have 13 other Thunderbirds. But my ‘15 is the best of the lot. My No. 1. Best bass I’ve ever owned. Incredibly versatile tones. Mine is under eight pounds. No neck dive. Best neck I’ve ever played.

Song name? or is this just freestyle and if so... tabs?

Very nice demo. I'm about to buy one tomorrow and this video has just confirmed my intentions!👍

Been looking for good sound demos of specifically the "neck" position of this bass, and this sounds great! It's rather reminiscent of a Rickenbacker bridge pickup!

Hey mate thanks for making this video! What a nice tone, sounds like a machine. I’ve been looking into getting one of these myself. How does it compare to your Japanese basses? Ive got a fender pb-62 and a pb-70 and find the 62 has a neck a bit too wide and the pb70 is a bit too heavy. Would you say this is a lightweight bass?

I bought a new one of these a number of yeas back and sold it within 3 months for three TIMES what I had paid for it. Regretted it ever since. Now looking again but seems everyone wants $700 so I now realize I messed up. LOL-ish

Tenés la perilla del tono pegada .......?

I want them all

What knobs did you use?

Peeete you're so cool Pete I don't even play bass just guitar but your Aura is so amazing I couldn't look away. Thank you for this video. and also you have great taste in instruments, last few were beautiful

You’ve got a beautiful collection of Precision basses! I especially like the black MIM classic series bass.

Lovely,,Pete soon as you rolled off the top end,,,you can hear it sitting lovely in a mix!

Nice basses bruv. What do u think a jv squire is worth these days?

Hey pete nice basses, what strap is on that 75 P?

Sounded great without the overdrive

Why is there a pickup cover where there's no pickup?

Colin Moulding used a Newport with flats on XTC'S Black Sea LP.

Please pay for your strings

Thank you!

That bass sounds great. Any idea where I could find an 82 model

Strings sound good. I usually get the daddarrio spirocores

Thank you for that.

I don't know what any of those words mean except "bass." Oh, and "double" and "string." No matter, sounds terrific.

Very cool! I love your skills.

Sounds good! How's the tension? Chromes are murdering the neck of my jazz bass.

Even though using single coil, it does not sound like a jazz bass. Btw, i have one and upgraded to alnico pickup and change the neck distance to jazz bass standard

Pickguard shape means rock'n'roll!

Hi Pete , I found your test of a precision bass 79 with dimarzios from the 80's, I would like to ask if you have a similar test with the original pickups. Great instrument,congrats,great sound(you play a bit in the style of Boby Vega😉) I haven't had time to look through your collection,but I saw some more precs and thunder b's in there,so hopefully next time there will be more time for that,thanks.

I had that same bass years ago. Great playing bass and I loved it's simplicity.

sounds wonderfull I use this configuration , but I has an question, What pedal could I add to have more body in the sound, by connecting the pedal directly to the console?

Loud and clear. Nice bite and snap. Bright and usable. Aggressive but not unpleasantly harsh. Nice bass.

I have had that same bass since 1996 and still playing it today! Just wish I can find a 5 string version.

Hay mate, would you recommend this bass? One going cheap in my neighbourhood $450 aussie $. I play old school simple bass for cajun, folk, blues, country etc - flatwounds foam mute tones. Cheers Tom

Jonas Hellborg played one of these in the beginning of his career.
