Shaggy Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Passive = Ovation Magnum 1, although the '70's Fender Tele bass would run a close second Active would be the one with the maddest preamp (which from personal experience was a '79 MM Sabre) Quote
Ou7shined Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Anything with a humbucker in series in P placement or forward. ... or just about anything with any decent active circuit with max bass boost and max treble cut. Quote
Lozz196 Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Gibson Les Paul Bass has a lot of low-end. Quote
Spike Vincent Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 In my experience, Gibson EB with a neck pickup. Through a 1x 18. Quote
neepheid Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Gibson EB-0 - not 3 - why brighten things up (slightly) with that bridge pickup? Quote
Ou7shined Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Are we confusing mud with bass? .... tone vs frequency Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Mud is what you get when your rig can't deal with the bass. Quote
Roland Rock Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 I'm thinking that 'bassiest' means naturally closest to the fundamental, with fewer harmonics and overtones. I hear that the Steinberger is excellent for this. A favoured tool by deep reggae players. Quote

matski Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 This! Played finger style over the end of the fretboard with the active circuit switched on and bass rolled full on! [attachment=145877:IMG_0147.jpg] Quote

spongebob Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 I've never played a Gibson or Tele bass....but the 'bassiest' basses I've played have all been P's. Quote
molan Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Yamaha Attitude - the Billy Sheehan signature bass, especially if you run each pickup into an individual amp. That neck woofer can sound huger than a very huge thing indeed if set up properly Quote

Kiwi Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Bass guitars: Steinberger XL2A - huge lows which is why they were so popular with dub and reggae players for a while. Uprights: NS CR4 - the 42" scale provides monstrous lows with the right set up. Quote
