I have this bass. Always liked the simplicity of a P bass. Volume. Tone. Period. The only gripe I have is the finish on the neck is a little sticky at times. But the tone is amazingly pure. Love this bass.
I have the jazz version in this series (w/ D'Addario flats on it!) and it has been really great. Have recorded it and played gigs with it. In about 5 years now, the only problem I had is with the output jack getting a bit loose which was pretty easily remedied.
Hey Bill! Cool I think I’ve seen that one! Yea man when I put the flats on it really started to sound great. I actually had A slight noise issue with it when it first came in and had a friend of mine fiddle with the grounding and it was also an easy fix.
Hey Dylan! you know I'm a guitarist not a bassist but, listening to the differences between the round wound and flats played on the same instrument was very cool. The rounds having a crisp sound. Whereas, the flats had a smoother, jazzier aspect. In your opinion, can you describe what musical styles each type of string would be best used in?
Hey John! I’d say that’s accurate. Round are more of a traditional “rock” sound where they have some more bite and attack. The flats sound more muted and sing differently. So rounds would be rock, grunge, indie, hardcore . Flats would be more likely in Motown, r&b , and jazz.
I have the exact same bass. LOVE IT! It is the only bass I record with, and my primary for gigging (sharing duty with a Yamaha BB when I need a Jazz Bass sound, and my String 2HH fiver). I run flats on mine with an A string retainer (really tightened up the A string) and a fender high mass bridge.
I actually happened on the BB. A church was too going to throw it away because it was cutting in and out, and they bought a Gio to replace it. Some contact cleaner, clean up, and a set of RS66s and it sounded awesome. This is the CV70 about a week after I put the rounds, bridge, and high mass on her. Signal chain is M87 comp, into an ART Tube MP, into radial proDI. ruclips.net/video/aHXjvYqQ95A/видео.htmlsi=M_oYXzxAkgcyXk0c

Yea agree! It’s gotten less so the more I play it though. Tone is absolutely crushing!

Very cool! Funny you mention that as I’m a massive fan of the Yamaha BB series. I’m always shocked at how good they sound. Good taste! Haha.
