I was hoping for at least another three pages of nonsense before we came to that conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamfist Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1361806639' post='1991158'] Apparently the P Bass is a 2010 Am. St. with a Seymour Duncan SB3 pickup , so on paper at least there is no reason why it should sound anything less than very meaty . Must be how it was recorded / eq'd . [/quote] Ah, the SB3 does tend to be rather gentle in the mids for a P pickup (it's that modern big bottom end and sizzly high it's going for I think). It was the authority of the P's mids I was missing in the vid. All makes sense now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I have no experience of the SBP-3 personally, and I know Seymour Duncan claim a "tremendous mid-range presence". However the common "internet wisdom", on TB for example, generally seems to agree that it is actually a bit mid-scooped compared to more traditional P pickup designs.

Musicman20 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 That P bass does sound awful! The Jazz/Ray/Bongo sound lovely. Cool vid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 But which is best for metal?? Nah, great video! My favourite was actually the Bongo. Surprisingly hated the Stingray sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 In this vid, only thing I liked less than my beloved Bongo, was the P. 1 Matize and/or StingRay, 3 Jazz, 4 Bongo, 5 Precision Hm... best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
