Members LanEvo Posted December 21, 2005 Members Share Posted December 21, 2005 All good choices so far. I'll add Mike Watt to the list. Listen to the tone on anything by the Minutemen or fIREHOSE. That was all an old P. Emre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check my posts in the basses section of Talkbass on it, I quoted Tony's emails. FYI: I'm listening to a Firm show right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he used a J and/or one of those Mustang types for some early recordings He's used various basses over the years, including Gibsons. But AKAIK his main bass has been an old P-bass loaded with Gibson pickups. Every time I've seen him live over the last 10-15 years or so, he's been using a P. But maybe some of the other Watt-heads on this forum can chime in. I might be wrong. Emre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members speddling Posted December 21, 2005 Members Share Posted December 21, 2005 there it is a little closer. He's switched to short scale Gibsons with Bart or Lane Poor pickups. Funny looking back on Watt's old bass... maybe the Dirnt should be called the Watt Tribute instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my personal heros for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
