VxR Rusty Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Right, im starting to want to change my bass again I have a 2007/8 Ernie ball sub bass, but im swaying towards the fender J and fender P bass The Genre im playing atm is very much, Dance/industrial/electronic-rock, basicly Hadukoen, NIN, Prodigy, pendulum etc etc Was wondering if anyone could give me a run down on wich bass would be best for me I like low action and thin necks btw Rusty Quote
bubinga5 Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Anything wrong with the Sub Rusty? thin necks.. J...or maybe a Stingray.. Edited February 24, 2011 by bubinga5 Quote
VxR Rusty Posted February 24, 2011 Author Posted February 24, 2011 Nothing wrong with the sub, love it, but im fancying a change, It doesnt really give me the sound im going for either, i tried a fender P the other day and it was immensely nicer on sound!!!! but didnt play as nice, The EB was perfect for my previous bands, but its basicly a case of, Loads of treble or No treble theirs no nice warm sounds in between Quote
martthebass Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Hmmmmm, If it's a case of wanting that P bass passive warmth with a J neck then I guess I'd take a look at Lakland Duck Dunn. What amp/cab setup are you using, I can usually get something nice an punchy without spitting treble on my 2 3eq Rays through my MarkBass gear. Quote
iconic Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) I know just what you mean...you need a motown fat P bass with a Ping ray top end, mids mean nothing.... you can find all you want (and its a big ask) from one of these... Edited February 24, 2011 by iconic Quote
Lozz196 Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Aerodyne Jazz Bass, or Duff McKagan Signature Bass? Or, as iconic has put forward, Yamaha. Theres a BB1100s up for grabs on here at the moment. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=112782"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=112782[/url] P & J pickups, active, but the bass can be run in passive mode, active has bass/mid/treb. From what I recall from mine (20 yrs ago) was a thinner neck than a Precision. Edited February 24, 2011 by Lozz196 Quote
VxR Rusty Posted February 24, 2011 Author Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) i use a Peavy/markbass III bass head (150 watts) through a 2x15 laney cab, i think im just fancying a change, but that fender sounded great through my rig, and it was a cheap one too :/ Ive had a Yamaha before, wasnt too keen on it :/ Other basses ive had was 5string Bass collection, lovely bass some form of stagg (played it to death) and started with a westfield. lol [url="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/photo.php?fbid=1857989695676&set=a.1572226551776.76029.1418892513&theater"]http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pho...513&theater[/url] This is my full set up Edited February 24, 2011 by VxR Rusty Quote
4 Strings Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 For the music you described a suitably powerful sound would be available from an american Jazz Deluxe. A super-wide range of sounds from the two active pups. Thin neck, fat sound, wasn't that the brief? Quote
VxR Rusty Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 Cheers man Just got to find one now Quote
Defo Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 P Bass v sensitive to the sort of strings you put on it by comparison to the others Quote
