IMHO that is how a 70's maple-neck P sounds at its absolute best (I think he has a DiMarzio there). And some great bass playing.

From the few minutes I listened to, it doesn't sound like a stock P.

There's definitely a preamp and probably a fuzz too.

He's got a pedalboard and there's probably an outboard preamp there. But the basic tone is classic 70s P.

[Dave W]

IMHO doesn't seem focused enough to be a classic 70s P sound.

I think this is discusses before but i always find it hard to jusdge a bass sound, especially on youtube. Some songs I prefer to listen to youtube cos it's enormous compression made the bass even fatter and bigger than on an album track.

^^Agreed. I don't really try to discern whether it's bass A, B or C, or whether it's going through pedal X, Y or Z.  I either like the sound or I don't.  When I play, I don't try to emulate others' sound, I just set up so that I like what I hear from me. I'm just not that curious about telling a P from a J or a 60's P from a 90's P, active or passive.

Boring, I know.

Hey, there was just a discussion here wether or not a mudbucker could be heard or not. Different opinions, but at least we agree to like it!

I can enjoy a 70's maple P whenever I want to (usually I don't - too heavy!) but if I heard this recording and had no visual reference, I'm not sure I could have recognised the P.

Richie Kotzen doesn't use a pick! Only noticed that in this video.
