synthetic

The filter is based on the lo pass of the Korg MS20. That synth is well known for it's aggressive filter and modular routing abilities. Used to own an original and you'll find a lot of people using them for experimenting by using the input and twisting the sound up. For the price you can't go wrong.

I come from an electronic music background but for gritty compression you could look at the Alesis 3630, Focusrite Compounder or for valve compression the TL Audio 5051. The Focusrite Penta isn't a bad compressor also.

Thanks for being patient. Yeah all leftys. I did look at the corvette and nearly asked what they were like. I might actually follow that warwick up as gatwick is just down the road. Many thanks

Thanks for all the replies and great suggestions. Will make sure to look into all of these. I had a quick look at the Warwick as have seen a few vids on youtube and the tone of them sounded ballpark to my ears. Can only see left handed ones listed on Thomann but will search around other sites. The Ibanez I had heard seemed more of a rocky vibe, would that be correct to think that? The J/P, is that Jazz and Precision? So a hybrid to mix between for tone? I'm trying haha Thanks again

Ou7shined, looks like it's been sold. What a nice looking guitar as well

Price would be about budget though around £200. I'll see if I can find an audio demo

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='941385' date='Aug 31 2010, 08:54 PM']I always suggest a Jazz to first timers, great variety of tone and if you don't get on with it they are easy to move on. Look at the Squier stuff, if you can afford something better that an Affinity do, maybe a Vintage modified, Classic Vibe or a Standard. Look to go second hand you will get much more for your money.[/quote] Yeah It's tricky on 2nd hand market with not much knowledge on basses if there is something not sounding as it should for the particular model/make. Hard to believe my father is a well known bassist although we haven't spoken in 20 years. Sucks right now haha Are Jazz basses easier to get to grips with? I think the variety is the key for me, some slap bite and also smooth tone. That's dictated from the pickups and controls?

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='941378' date='Aug 31 2010, 08:48 PM']You have expensive taste. Bass example 1 sounds like a muffled Musicman Stingray Bass example 2 has never seen a real bass, it's a synth Bass example 3 Warwick custom shop streamer Those two basses are way above your budget. Probably the cheapest way to get the Stingray sound is to get something like [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=82701&hl=sterling"]this[/url].[/quote] Haha Oh dear really? So the Squier would be no good. Actually you're right about example 2 I think there's just sample cuts of a live bass thrown in here and there over the synth bass. Bad example How do the Yamaha RBX270 fair? I'll take a look at the link, thanks.

Ritter. Looking at their website I'm pretty sure you were just pulling my leg with budget in mind

Hi, new to the site and although I make music (synth based) am about to purchase my first bass guitar. Have been looking at various makes and models but as I don't already play it's hard to know what may be weak or strong points of them. Don't want to spend much at the moment so have been looking at the entry level Aria STB-JB deluxe, STB-PB and also some of the Squier Fender Precision and Affinity basses. From what I understand some of these have different pickups for a different tone? Jazz being at the back end lower/smoother and higher up midrange? Noob so could be way off the mark haha I'll give some examples of the type of tone I want to be aiming for.

Thanks in advance if anyone can offer some advice
