Lately I've been using pedal preamps like the JHS Punchline or Tech 21 Geddy Lee MP-40 (bassically a YYZ), but the other day I decided to fire up my old blue/red-knob F-2B that I purchased in Japan. Used it with my Fender Donald "Duck" Dunn Signature Precision Bass to do a Steely Dan bass cover. 

Had the volume and bass at 11:00, mid at 10:00, treble at 9:00 (and tone knob on the bass down about halfway) - still getting some split-coil P-Bass growl, but I think it fits the track pretty well.

Sounds fantastic.

Lovely P tone, Harry!  (Not all P tones are, so - well done, my friend.

Cool!  Nice fat tone, and nice playing!  Great tune; chord progression, sudden changes; had to go look up who played bass on the original; Chuck Rainey.  Think I'll go listen to the original now!

Thanks! I agree, I have heard some P Bass sounds that were thin (though probably just as much the production values - I was a teenager in the'80s) - the F-2B played a big role in my bass journey!

Aja is an amazing album - definitely check it out! The Wikipedia entry says people often used this album to check out hi-fi systems, the production is immaculate.

Interesting, I've tried up loading a number of my Steely Dan and Donald fagen covers and most have been blocked straight after uploading and others were originally fine but later blocked.

Oddly, I didn't get the YT notification. Just went there and reset those. That happens a lot anymore. 

Great Harry! That tone would sit real nice in a mix.
