marcus bell Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I seem to listen to more music containing a brand of bass if I'm about to get one... Anyone else do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 Strings Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 No. In fact, almost the reverse. Been using a Stingray for some time now, when I hear the likes of 'Nard on his, I realise how poor is my own tone and playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Not so much with basses, but I've done something like this with other instruments and gear. I think it's a fairly normal part of thinking about how the instrument sounds and what you can do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowender Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Sure. You're attracted to the sound and want to be more attracted. It's just gas for your GAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I'd say it's normal. Not so obvious for me though as I like P basses... that covers a lot of ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Plain psychology. Your ear is attracted to that particular tone so it is more aware of it. Quite normal. Edited October 27, 2013 by BassBus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 By the time the recordings are mixed, bounced, compressed etc I find it quite hard to tell what bass is being played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skej21 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Yup. It's like being a learner driver. You rarely seem to see learner drivers but the second you are learning to drive, they're everywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnyboy Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Eh, no. But I Know what you mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immo Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Once I tried to do this, but then I developed my preference in sound the other gear could provide, so I went for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Cloud Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 It's normal. The question is....what band are you listening to Marcus? I sense GAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 No, I don't do that. Whether or not it sounds good has more to do with the player (and the producer/engineer) than the bass in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcus bell Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 A hahahaahaha love it! ^^^^ At first I was sort of wondering the link thinking it could be about the level 42 intro music from 1988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
