GUESS THE BASS!!!!!!

[RichZbaraski]

Yay, another guess the bass thread!

Right, my band, The Deli's Mix recorded a new song recently called the Shaman's dance and I want you to tell me which bass this is! There were many bass' around me that I could of used and here are some of them. It's a toughy I think, here are your options:

1. Fender Jazz bass MIM modified
2. Squier classic vibe Jazz bass
3. Fender Jazz bass MIA standard
4. Fender Precision bass 1973
5. Fernandes gravity deluxe 4

FIRE AWAY!! I'LL BE BACK ON SUNDAY! YOUR PRIZE?! my love

oh yea, the song

Fairly sure it's 5 or 1, doesn't sound much like a P to me.

Dunno why

edit to say like the track!

Also thinking it's a pick rather than fingers?

[OliverBlackman]

its definitely pick. I give up, all picked basses sound the same to me.

[Badass]

#4 with a pick. Nice track

[Conan]

No idea! To me there is little difference between a P-bass and a J-bass on the neck pickup.... No idea what a Fernandes would sound like. The bass is also a bit low in the mix to make out clearly.

Good track though! If I were to guess I would say it was one of the Js.... er, the Squier CV???

Blind stab in the dark. #3
awesome sounding track, btw!

Don't think it's a J, so my guess is #4

Thank you! Did the mix myself and majority of the guitar. People are always suprised on forums when they find out im 17

[Chris Horton]

I vote for number 4 with a pick

[Bilbo]

It's definately a bass.......

[bear-foot-bass]

Dunno. Just want to say I love the track, and you have a good mix of all the instruments and voice. IMHO I love it.

As to the question, def a pick. Bass no 1?

[simon1964]

I have no idea what the Fernandes is!

I would have guessed the Precision, but I'm thinking its a trick question so I'll opt for the Squier.

Great track BTW

[stu_g]

squier classic vibe jazz?

[xilddx]

That's the P bass played with fingers.

[RichZbaraski]

Thanks for the complements.

I'll help you out a little: its played with a pick.

[Killerfridge]

I'm going to say Squire Classic Vibe Jazz - only because it sounds very similar to one of the Squires that I have heard other people play recently. And it is a great sound!

[KiOgon]

TBH I really liked the track, playing my 51P along with - sounded fine to me, so I'll go #4 P with a pick

Good stuff

[OliverBlackman]

we've already established its with a pick. I want a better clue

[4 Strings]

I can't tell the difference between basses with cellulose or any other type of paint so how am I supposed to tell different makes?

Seriously, I honestly can't tell a jazz on the neck from a Precision, but I would say this is different enough from what I would expect from a Precision that I would say it isn't no. 3.

In the quiet bit it has an un-fenderish characteristic so if I had to say one its no. 5.

Yes, impressive sounding track too. Was this really a competition (and an excellent one at that, I'd like to see more of these) or are you showing off a track with which you are justifiably proud?

[xgsjx]

Is it a trick question & the answer is none of them, it's a Les Paul with an octaver?

[RichZbaraski]

IT WAS #1, THE MEXICAN FENDER JAZZ BASS ALL ALONG!!!! I can do more in the future if you'd really like? Honestly? It was half and half.

[RichZbaraski]

Both pickups were on, and the modifications were a gotoh bridge and some better wiring, so only subtle stuff.

[4 Strings]

That's brilliant, now we know what a Jazz on both pickups sounds like, thanks, Rich.

Any other offers of tracks gratefully received, anyone else want post some too?

[xgsjx]

Nice track, very FNM sounding (which is a good thing).
