It's quite simple really. There are members on here of (and above) a certain age. During their formative years, in the music they were listening to, bass guitars often sounded like a dull thud due to the recording technology of the time. This is what they grew up with, the sound of their youth, and what they aspired to. So fast forward to now, how do you make a bass guitar sound like a dull thud? Flats! 😆

Did. Hope you'll post the results/analysis.

Could you post pics of the gear/signal path? Ta!

This is why you need to play in a metal band, the punters would think it's part of the show!

Fugly! IMO 🤣

Me too. No sigs being seen here.

Opposite for me. Started with heavy strings, now play and much prefer ultra-lights. Suits my low action and full body ramps better too.

Excessive use of class A/B amps can lead to tooth decay and diabetes? 😳

I'm looking to restring some basses (which haven't been restrung since before the Covid) so threads like this are very instructive.

Each to their own and all that, but my TecAmp Puma 500 sounds lovely and warm, and has suited any band situation I've been in. Light and loud too 🙂

better hair too...

So, a decent preamp pedal and you're still £450 on top?

Distinct lack of British luthiery: Shuker Zoot ACG etc...

According to this chap "this amp uses the same exact ICE Power Module as the best and most expnsive class D power amps".

A good review here, particularly nice they use different basses playing different styles.

Found these, from when I was young, slim, had hair, and knees.

I still have my leather trousers. Not sure why as I have the proverbial snowflakes chance in hell, of ever fitting in them again!
