That Sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Ken i recently saw a Michael Jackson tour on video and Don Boyette was on bass with his 92 BT 5 and the sound that was coming from that bass was just out of this world. I have played just about every model of your basses and they all sound awesome,but what i heard coming from Don's bass was super natural. Was anything added to that bass to bring out that amazing thump plucking sound.

Mike

nope..
 

Nothing was added other than Don's fingers.. ;)

That Sound!!!!!!!
 

I wish that was the case, but it was more than just fingers. I think the sound crew had something to do with it or both.

I mad about this sound :D

The Black BT5G... I remember that bass. I rubbed it out myself, by hand..!:eek:

It was the first of 3 BT5s he bought. That I know of!

this bass kill me ;)

Do you remember witch woods do you used for this beauty Ken ?

woods?
 

Humm? Maple in the body I think, maybe a 5-piece wing?:confused:

Regular 5pc neck I am sure. The standard from then. Might be a 1988 bass or so as I recall.

Thanks Ken.

An exceptional bass player and a sound who makes me cry :D

never saw black baby like that, incredible instrument.

Thanks to make such an amazing job !
