Just a bit of fun.

(yes I had some freetime today)

Four sightly different basses straight into the PC..
Three of them wide open and one with some treble cut, how I'd normally use them at practice etc.
Forgive the sloppiness and for anybody who listens I promise I don't slap in public lol.

If you want to play, can you tell what's what?

Well I`d put 1 as a Precision, and 4 as either a Jazz or a Stingray, with 3 being the treble-cutted bass.

Your close Lozz, what do you make 2 as?

[Lozz196]

Hmm, something with humbuckers perhaps Don?

My guess is:

1. Precision
2. Stingray
3. Treble cut
4. Jazz

This was my guess.

[Highfox]

Well done, your both right.
Number 3 was also a P but with flats.

[Lozz196]

2. was Stingray - am amazed, much fatter sounding than I`d expect. Still, did guess a humbucker so nearly there.......

[Cameronj279]

Pretty cool idea. Would be good to do something similar but with slightly less obvious but still distinct sounding basses (say brands like Warwicks, Spectors etc).

I got them, but 2 and 3 had me thinking for a bit...

Now I need a sit down.

[Highfox]

Yes ,you were right Lozz with the humbucks
Maybe the Ray sounds larger as it's active/pre-amped already and the rest had no kind of DI boost or anything, tho the Stingray always sounds huge to me isolated with the drums like that, just one of the reasons I have to have one.
I think the P with the flats has very low out-put from it's pick-ups, they are 45 years old.. I'm thinking of sticking some of the new F custom shops in there and keeping the old's original.

Cameron thanks, it'd be nice if someone had the time to do more bass comparisons, I'd definitely give it a listen.
