phaty Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 ... by the way. The Fender was gone for 3 years to support a young musician in my family who now switched to Tiktok Singing I guess and what can I say. I LOVE MY FENDER NOW! 4 years playing a boutique bass and all of a sudden I enjoy the Fender Sound. I will however get it pleked and adjusted. Because boutique basses are such a joy to play ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaty Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Well I never doubted that @Chiliwailer - to be honest I hated myself because in my mind I am that badass punk kid with a P bass .. being 53 now ... but I think I wasn't able to appreciate it a few years ago. The better I get the more I "understand" ... also look what the 4 years did to the looks ❤️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only option for practicing is through headphones then you need to get some kind of decent cab simulator pedal, preferably with the option for loading 3rd party cab IRs, to place between your bass and headphone amp. I can warmly recommend the NUX Solid Studio IR & Poweramp Simulator, which use over double the IR resolution of for example the Mooer Radar, while only being ever so slightly more expensive, although not having as many features, though I'd prefer the higher resolution of the NUX Solid Studio over the extra bells and whistles of the Mooer Radar, since all you will really need is 1 great cab IR (the NUX will require of you to find a 3rd party cab IR, the Mooer got a couple of bass cab IRs unlike the NUX, which only features guitar cab IRs from stock, but you'll likely want just the right 3rd party cab IR anyway, so I don't really see that as much of an issue, for that I recommend you checking out https://www.drbonkerssoundlab.com/ , his trademark HyperReal cab IR mixes sounds amazing (included in all the IR packs he offers, I personally prefer the ones recorded with an AKG C414 XLS microphone)).

[/quote] That's my bass! There was some stiff competition too! Any link to the shootout for those of us who missed it! I’ve heard about it before and that the results were rather unexpected and interesting! Regarding the OP, I think the dry lined signal in headphones of any bass is sort of an aquired taste. I happen to like it but many use an amp sim when practising through headphones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverbassman Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I use a Vox amplug for a headphone amp and actually really like it. I feel it makes my P bass sound pretty good. Nothing like my Ampeg stack, to make you really feel the bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanheusen77 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I use the Helix stomp amp models or IK Multimedia Amplitube Ampeg B15 in logic with headphones and I really get a great practice amp sound. DI can sound great though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I never got the Precision thing when I was younger until I joined this forum. Decided one day to take a shot on a lovely MIJ Fender FSR Classic 60s Lacquer Precision, and couple years later it was long gone. ... and I owned two pre-CBS Fender Ps. So be careful, it’s a dangerous game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
