Totally agree @thegummy The way someone plays is quite different from the sound of the bass they play. As demonstrated in this clip. I don’t know why people still say that someone sounds the same regardless of what they play. It’s crazy. Nobody would have more than one bass if they all sounded the same. Nobody would make basses, different pickups, amplifiers, strings, pedals...
Just listen to the zon. Then the Dingwall. Yes, what’s being played is similar (it’s the same kind of groove) but the basses sound totally different. Totally! How could they not?
If I’m wrong then we’d better contact the thousands of manufacturers and tell them not to worry about their basses, just whack them together and forget about what electronics and woods you use because they all sound the same. Same for amplifier companies - nah don’t worry about what speaker sizes or EQ section, I’ll still sound like me. Strings? Doesn’t matter, I’ll just use pieces of solder instead of Sunbeams, they make no difference.
