MJT P Bass Build

@snap it’s great. I’m no classic Motown bassist but to my ears it nails all those classic tones. Really happy with it. Need to play it more...

Yeah, it's great fun. My aim was to get this sort of sound; just that classic fat P sound. With the LA Comp and Ampeg B15 models on the HX Stomp it frickin nails it (at least to my ears).

Minor update. I'm using it in a band! Per my other threads I've tweaked the amp modelling side and I've got it tonally in a good place. 

I have had some buzzing which seems to be just lack of shielding - it doesn't do it at home but does in the rehearsal studio when I've got plenty of compression on and everything wound up a bit. 

I've properly shielded the control cavity and pickguard so we'll see how much that helps when I'm back there this weekend. 





And for completeness, another pic of the new Avantguard pickguard because it's just lovely
