Highfox Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (yes I had some freetime today) Four sightly different basses straight into the PC.. Three of them wide open and one with some treble cut, how I'd normally use them at practice etc. Forgive the sloppiness and for anybody who listens I promise I don't slap in public lol. If you want to play, can you tell what's what? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/90499974/Bass%20mix/1.mp3 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/90499974/Bass%20mix/2.mp3 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/90499974/Bass%20mix/3.mp3 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/90499974/Bass%20mix/4.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Well I`d put 1 as a Precision, and 4 as either a Jazz or a Stingray, with 3 being the treble-cutted bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hmm, something with humbuckers perhaps Don? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 My guess is: 1. Precision 2. Stingray 3. Treble cut 4. Jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highfox Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Well done, your both right. Number 3 was also a P but with flats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 2. was Stingray - am amazed, much fatter sounding than I`d expect. Still, did guess a humbucker so nearly there....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameronj279 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Pretty cool idea. Would be good to do something similar but with slightly less obvious but still distinct sounding basses (say brands like Warwicks, Spectors etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I got them, but 2 and 3 had me thinking for a bit... Now I need a sit down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highfox Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Yes ,you were right Lozz with the humbucks Maybe the Ray sounds larger as it's active/pre-amped already and the rest had no kind of DI boost or anything, tho the Stingray always sounds huge to me isolated with the drums like that, just one of the reasons I have to have one. I think the P with the flats has very low out-put from it's pick-ups, they are 45 years old.. I'm thinking of sticking some of the new F custom shops in there and keeping the old's original. Cameron thanks, it'd be nice if someone had the time to do more bass comparisons, I'd definitely give it a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
