You have a fine grunt in your bass playing. Your sustain is also long and stable. P Bass, I know. What effects do you use to do you. ? I play a Warwick custom thumb. 5 string and i love how it plays. My PBass does not have the sustain yours is producing without compression, a little bit of a drive in the mix. Will you enlighten me?

Hey Don, Thanks for the great question. It sounds like you have a couple of great setups. The bass I have is actually a Bluesman Vintage custom P-style Bass. I know they have a proprietary bolt on neck system that they use which adds to sustain. They do mods on basses in that regard but I am not sure what the charge would be. I do use a sansamp Pre with the effect on full and usually some overdrive as well as older strings that probably contribute to the sustain. What compressor are you using? Sometimes I run through my Mike E empirical labs pre and compressor which adds to the tone but I don't usually have a lot of compression on it. Thanks again for being vital to the community! Have a great week.

Continued, in your gear profile you have a BigMuff Bass box. Do you use it for the added sustain?? I have used compression to add sustain favorably. About 50/50 on wet/dry for blend. The sustain feature itself is a release control from a compressed signal to my knowledge. Correct me if I am wrong about such things. I love info. Thanks

Hi Hermano, I wanted to know if you use bass pedals, and if you do which ones, I've been wanting to add to my bass playin. Blessings!
