Sound clips of the '68

[cangaroo]

Not to take any thunder away from Scott's '68 and rather to compliment Scott, much of that tone comes from his playing technique. His strings, amp and settings are are also a factor there.

Uh ... what kind of strings are we talking about ?

Sounds great, Scott! Love both pickups' sounds.

Cheap, cheap. Hartke 20$ 3-packs.

I'll think i will get the pack ... but what is the tension of those strings ? what gauge ?

I've really been into trying different string brands lately.

Wow! that toaster really sounds good. Do you have it right up next to the strings or backed down toward the body?

Inquiring minds want to know.....

[cheyenne]

Cool. Thanks Scott..

[weemac]

It even looks good from that angle!

emac.

Simply Sweet looking and Sounding.

What the fuss is all about...

[KenOnBass]

It does sound incredible. New strings too perhaps?

[s4001]

Three weeks and two gigs old.

I don't know about anyone else, but I've found small tweaks in Toaster height make huge differences in the tone.

Sounds cool.
And Yorkvilles are great amps. I had an old blue carpet BM 200 that I wish I still had. (I tried the new Traynor DB 200 and promptly returned it). I'm currently using a Yorkville Bassmaster 400 head w/ matching cab.

That bass sounds absolutely amazing, what most Rics wish they sounded like. What I find surprising is how good the toaster sounds on its own (I hardly ever use them like that); it just is Squire! Awesome.
