[quote name='Pete Academy' post='785842' date='Mar 25 2010, 02:06 PM']Awesome bass sounds.[/quote] Especially 'Impulse' ...so so good.

And let's not forget these classics.

These tunes just ooze funk and groove. Class stuff.

Come on guys.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='784106' date='Mar 23 2010, 10:43 PM']I'm fairly sure both your examples were in the late '90s. [/quote] Actually these were 2000 and 2003 respectively. The 90's ones are not quite as funkaaaaay

I posted these in another thread, but they truly deserve to be here as well. I forgot how AWESOME these grooves really are.

To me, the ultimate slap sound is the kind of thing used in the 90's - early 2000's. 90s and early 2000's pop. Check these classics...I wish pop was as funky and tight as this now. Honestly, don't dismiss it, just listen to the grooves! [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='783932' date='Mar 23 2010, 08:26 PM']I can't think of a single hit record from the last ten years that has a slap bass part. So "nobody".[/quote] Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

They're also doing 'Classic' Sterlings, and Stingray 5's. The fivers are the same design as the SR4s - and they look friggin' wicked.

Or a Bongo? (how many threads have I answered with these exact words?)

This. Well I am.. Impeccable bass work there!

I'm interested in the N3 pickups. Are they Bongo-esque neodymium magnets?

[quote name='rasher80' post='779601' date='Mar 19 2010, 11:36 AM']could've been worse, imagine the uproar if he'd been doing some Carcass covers!! Genital Grinder or Malignant Defecation anybody? [/quote] Or Cannibal Corpse covers... ...."Entrails ripped from a virgin's c***" anyone?

I love this picture. From left to right there is always something going on. 3 Band members, little boy coming to give us money, and the parents sending him on his way...awesome.

Looks absolutely great. You should definitely try to get those pink pickup covers, that would be insane in the membrane.

Not inexpensive, but I want one! [url="http://www.moogmusic.com/controllers/?section=product&product_id=21141"]http://www.moogmusic.com/controllers/?sect...roduct_id=21141[/url]

[quote name='paul h' post='777193' date='Mar 17 2010, 11:52 AM']All basses should three single coils.[/quote] Or at least be different to a precision. Except precisions, they're cool.

Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful ... and now with mahogany bodies!

[quote name='Chris2112' post='775446' date='Mar 15 2010, 05:40 PM']FWIW, I'd recommend some kind of fretless Musicman! I'm not one to rave about Musicman basses that are fretted, although they are damn good, but fretless, they are fantastic! I have a Sabre necked custom bass that is just fantastic. It has made fretless my main instrument! I think that pickup placement is great for fretless, you can have loads of Jaco style honk at the same time as loads of strong fundamental![/quote] +1 on this. I had a fretless Ray and to be honest it was the best bass I ever had. It could do everything my fretted Ray could, and then some. Deep, phat, tight fretless tones. Just perfect.

Well for a start I never touch the mid knob (why I own 3 Bongos each with 2 mid knobs is anyone's guess....) but I also just prefer the subtle differences in the tone over that of the 3EQ. I'm talking those tiny differences you hear. Also I like how there are no detents, you just kind of turn the knobs until it sounds good, without being influenced by whether it is flat or not. The 2EQ also puts out more lower frequencies. It is literally subsonic in that respect, it goes down to 20hz rather than the 3EQ's 50hz. Not really such a big deal, I just prefer it's entire vibe. Plus, it looks cooler with the output jack on the front.

There is a thread over on the EBMM forum which shows the differences between many different models here: [url="http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-basses/42214-stingray-sound-examples.html"]http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-...d-examples.html[/url] Personally, I reckon the HH is the best, if only it came in 2EQ...

I just got the album that is is from. It's FRIKKIN' good!

Or a Bongo? Heheheh

Yep, those are cool.

The almighty Bongos!
