Nice bass, Bill!

Thanks for the PM, BTW...

 

[Big Poppa]

smooth one there!

 

[ekb16b]

nice one, great colour ES

Outstanding. Now can you tell me (the unwashed) while the HS as opposed to HH? I've put an HS on lay-away (long distance) because I 'think' I'm going to like the tone better than an HH. Any feedback on your decision sir?

 

[Paul_C]

What an excellent choice

I have both. I love the HH. The HS, to me, has a bit mellower tone. Someone else help me out with a description of the tone difference.

Wait, you traded it for what?

 

[TSanders]

Looks sweet for sure.

 

[bovinehost]

Definitely one of my favorite finishes.

Nice score, Bill.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for - wanted to be able to get close (on occasion, situation dependant) to a Bickenracker tone without actually having to own one..much less a Fendicali Yazz.

Looks nice! and familiar, I love this forum. It brings a guitarist with a bass and a bassist with a guitar together. All is right with the universe. I see it finally has a proper case as well.

nice! how different does the HS feel compared to the HH and H? I had probs with the lack of room when whipping up godzilla...

It feels great - I like anchoring on the neck pickup - thus I have never gotten too comfortable with single H models. I don't slap very much, but this one was set up with the single coil screwed down low. Gave a lot more room for the "pop" - but did affect the tone a bit. I raised it back up and as you can guess - got a lot more of the single coil tone.
